| Re: [PLUG] Looking for help with Ubuntu 14.04 on an HP 380 Gen8 server |
Hi, John. Have you considered not running X on this server system? Instead, SSH in to the server with the -X option. Then run the VirtualBox command to get the app GUI. This does require an X server on your local desktop, though. Mac X server: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ Windows X server: http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ Cheers.
