Hi guys.
First, I want to thank you for a great product and communicty. I successfully run my custom build NAS for over a year now, without any hassle.
But until now, it serves me only as pure NAS.
Now, I want to run some program, with which I need to interact in graphical enviroment and this program need to be running 24/7.
I've tried to run RemoteDesktop via plugin, and I've succeded - RDP connection works fine. I'm able to view my XFCE enviroment.
Sadly, I'm unable to run my program in RDP session, because I get an error message:
X server cannot be accessed!
Please check your DISPLAY variable and the permissions of your X server.
I am able to connect my physical machine to keyboard & monitor, and I discover, that this XFCE GUI works only in RDP session, not "physically" on the machine itself.
Yup, silly me. I don't have extended knowledge about Linuxes, X-servers, RDP, VNC, VM and such.
After researching and skimming through this forum and some other websites, I've came accross a number of topics, that suggest clearly, that running GUI desktop enviroment "on top" of running OMV is a very bad idea and is generally adviced against it.
Okay. So, I don't want to mess with my perfectly working OMV.
But I hope, that you can point me in the right direction, how to solve my problem.
I don't want to buy another physical machine...
So, is this good idea to make virtual machine in OMV, install Ubuntu in this VM and install my program inside Ubuntu inside VM inside OMV?
Or is there another bulletproof way to accomplish that?
