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

[Vasily Averin]

Dear Linpeng,

could you please clarify in more details, how are your you going to use X forwarding?
Do you want to run some X application inside container, something like "ssh -XC your.countainer.ip xclock" and it doesn't work?

Thank you,
	Vasily Averin
