[ARMedslack] R: Current: Problem with xterm and seg fault on firefox

[Davide]

Installare Xorg partendo da un miniroot e' di sicuro una tortura soprattutto dato che xorg e' stato suddiviso in un botto di pacchetti.

Ti consiglio di collegarti alla macchina virtuale via ssh abilitando il flag -X che ridirige la grafica nel tunnel ssh
Una volta che sei dentro prova a lanciare qualcosa di grafico (tipo xclock) e dovresti vederlo apparire sul tuo desktop.

Se cio non avviene comincia a debuggare il motivo.

Piano piano lavora verso cose piu complicate tipo xterm e il browser in modo da scoprire i problemi gradualmente (in modo da facilitarti il debugging).

Ciao Davide
