Which 2 users accessing the .Xauthority file ? And what is this .Xauthority file useful for, anyway ? But I'm satisfied nonetheless. I want to use a virtual machine to test my Trytond service and Tryton has a native GUI client so a graphical environment is necessary I could connect a client running in the host to the sevice running in a so called headless guest but I see this line, when I launch qemu Warning: vlan 0 is not connected to host network so I'm not sure I want to go there Thank you Andy, I know I strained your patience I appreciate that 🙏 Ciao
