<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I got VDI working this last week and will see what users think. Most of the effort went into setting up CentOS 7 (our cluster is RHEL 6) with MATE in a singularity container so it didn't "pollute" the software stack on the compute nodes. Either way, the next step is to figure out how to do a minimal setup that has all the packages I want but not all the cruft the comes along with a standard installation such as PulseAudio. I spent a few minutes trying to get Ubuntu to work and gave up, will try again with the new release.<br><br></div>How did OSC or others deal with the issue of creating a VDI installation for OOD?<br><br>--<br></div>Shawn G.
