I want to launch GUI in my lxc container. The container I used ubuntu 14.04 with xfce4.

I can connect to my container with VNC. But what I need is start GUI directly. Is it possible?

There was a thread related to this problem on StackOverflow that is closed now. In that thread they suggested to do the following command to start X:

startx -- :1

Be aware that you need to ensure that dev/tty0 exists inside your container first and if the above doesn't help please send the last lines of logs available in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for further analysis.

Hope this helps you.
