Some success running toolbox on Ubuntu 18.04 (first experiment) #197
Closed
Description
I just want to mention that I had some success running toolbox on Ubuntu 18.04.
First log in to an Ubuntu 18.04 workstation:
myuser@laptop~$ ssh -XC testuser@workstation
And then run toolbox from this branch
https://github.com/eriksjolund/toolbox/tree/ubuntu-modifications
testuser@workstation:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS \n \l
testuser@workstation:~$ toolbox create --release f30 -c mytoolbox
Created container: mytoolbox
Enter with: toolbox enter --container mytoolbox
testuser@workstation:~$ toolbox enter --container mytoolbox
testuser@toolbox:~$ sudo dnf install -y --quiet xorg-x11-apps
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
testuser@toolbox:~$ xclock
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Error: Can't open display: localhost:15.0
testuser@toolbox:~$ sudo hostname workstation
testuser@toolbox:~$ xclock
xclock showed a clock in a graphical window. As you see I had to run sudo hostname workstation to get the X11 authentication working. workstation is the hostname of the host.
Note, this was just a quick experiment.
The branch contains some modifications related to paths:

(Most probably the modifications break normal Fedora support)
