How do I install a Vagrant Linux box with a GUI (gnome, kde, ...)?

How to install Vagrant Linux box with desktop GUI (gnome, kde, ...).

Is there a firewall distribution that already has a production environment?

After I do "vagrant", how do I enter this virtual window and with the GUI active?

This question is a duplicate with the broad answer here: Using Vagrants to Start Virtual Machines Using the Desktop Environment

Yes, you need to include the GUI in your roaming file, but first you need to:

  • Installing add-ons for the Virtual Box guest application
  • Installing the desktop environment


From one answer in the link above ( fooobar.com/questions/53746 / ... ) you can use the following vagrant file:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  # Ubuntu 15.10
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/wily64"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
    vb.gui = true
  end

  # Install xfce and virtualbox additions
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "sudo apt-get update"
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "sudo apt-get install -y xfce4 virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11"
  # Permit anyone to start the GUI
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "sudo sed -i 's/allowed_users=.*$/allowed_users=anybody/' /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config"
end

If you want to enter the desktop GUI, you can modify the Vagrantfile to add vb.gui = true

. For example:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
    vb.gui = true

    # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
    # vb.memory = "1024"
end


Then you can vagrant up

and enter it from virtualbox.
