Install an Ubuntu 12.04 Gold Image

To benefit from accelerated SPICE features, install the Ubuntu Gold Image using the VERDE Management Console. See Gold Images for more details.

  1. Enable sshd to run at boot time.
  2. Run Install_VERDE_Guest_Tools to shut down the Gold Image.
  3. Restart the image and install the gdm package apt-get install --reinstall gdm.
  4. (Optional for AD User Access) To enable access to the Ubuntu Gold Image by AD users, perform the following steps:
    1. Run vi /etc/pam.d/common-session.
    2. Change session sufficient pam_lsass.so to session [success=ok default=ignore] pam_lsass.so.
  5. Shutdown the Gold Image.
  6. Check in the Gold Image on the VERDE Management Console.
  7. (Optional for AD User Access) Assign the Gold Image to an AD user.
  8. Save the changes.
