Well, I don't know what the LXC above stands for :-? Good thing he provided a link ..... https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html Looks like pretty much of a mess if you ask me.
What we need is develop a container technology that is simple to install and manage and run all web browsers in that container. LXC containers are quite easy to install and run. I'm not sure about running X applications in them though.
Yes, I want to run a single application in LXC (Linux Containers). Of course, I can try a full virtualization technology like VMware, VirtualBox or KVM. But at first I want to give LXC a change.
And yes, LXC has some problems with running X applications. But it's possible to run an X application inside LXC (for instance with SSH X11 forwarding or $DISPLAY/xhost).
But the special problem here is, that my application probably requires (I am not sure, until it's tested) a clean 32 Bit environment. Without the "--arch" switch of "lxc-create" it's not directly possible to install an 32 Bit LXC guest. The name of the application is Borland JBuilder 2005. I still need it for special tasks.
Just out of curiosity, why do you want/need to use a container?
On 64 Bit openSUSE 13.1 it prints this error during startup:
$ /opt/Borland/JBuilder2005/bin/jbuilder count = 145, total = 522 count = 145, total = 522 Use -verbose for details on OpenTool failures *** OpenTool com.borland.jbuilder.webservices.personality.WebServicesPersonality failed to initialize *** OpenTool com.borland.jbuilder.personality.JBuilderPersonalities failed to initialize *** OpenTool com.borland.jbuilder.JBuilderCore failed to initialize
This is why I wanted to try JBuilder on a 32 Bit system.
You ought to be able to install the required 32bit libraries on your 64bit system. You would need those for a 32bit container anyway (if it we had support for it). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
