[Users] [HELP] Unable to use X11 forwarding to Ubuntu 12.04 inside OpenVZ

[Linpeng Tang]

Hi, recently I have installed a Ubuntu 12.04 machine inside OpenVZ on a
CentOS 5 server, almost everything works fine except that I can't use X11
forwarding.

I have installed xauth, and enabled X11forwarding in ssh_config, but it
still doesn't work.

Specifically, I find that I don't have ~/.Xauthority file generated, and
running startx results in:
*Fatal server error:*
*xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)*

More curiously,* when I run "who" command, the ouput is empty*. while I
have logged in via ssh at the time.

Does any one have any clues what's causing the problem?

Thanks in advance.
