Oops! Just hit a big problem. I'm trying to install X2GoServer-One into
a VServer running Ubuntu Karmic. We have done this successfully in the
past with Hardy. The combination of X2Go and VServer offers incredible
potential - in our case much greater than with hypervisor style
virtualization.
However, we are hitting a major dependency problem in Karmic. In
VServer, we are not using any of the hardware directly. In the past, we
set the xorg.conf driver to dummy. However, Karmic is behaving
differently. When installing xserver-xorg, it insists on writing
to /proc/mtrr which is not allowed in a vserver for security reasons.
We spent two days doing it but have successfully installed KDE and Gnome
without having to install xserver-xorg.
The problem is that X2Go is insisting on xserver-xorg as a dependency.
This may be indirect as I see it is also asking for xinit and Karmic
sets xserver-xorg as a dependency for xinit. Is there a way to install
without this dependency on xserver-xorg? This is a critical problem for
us. Thanks - John
