display error in virtual machine

Hi all,

I ran into some weird problem as of late. 🙁

I set up a new production system (Linux Lite 6.2.) as I converted from 
Lubuntu to LL. I´ve always been running /Bodhi Linux/ as a virtual 
machine (qemu/kvm/virt-manager) and intend to keep it that way.
However I needed to change permissions for the Bodhi img-file in order 
to import it in *virt-manager.*

I did it thus:


|sudo chown libvirt-qemu:libvirt-qemu <image-file>|


Now I could easily import the existing img-file for Bodhi. The vm starts 
alright but when logging in I´m presented with
an error message. It said:

Error found when loading /home/rosika2/.xprofile:
xrandr: cannot find output "Virtual-0"



Hmm... I then started Bodhi using the *i3 tiling window manager* and 
thus at least could get a smaller window in which I could
make use of the terminal.

"xrandr -q" informed me about Virtual-0 being used. So I changed into 
/home/rosika2/ and looked at *.xprofile*:


|cat .xprofile
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode  "1696x953_60.00"  133.75  1696 1800 1976 2256  953 956 
966 989 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual-0 1696x953_60.00|


Hmm... *xrandr -q* said "Virtual-0 connected primary [...]".

So I changed the config file to use "Virtual-1".
I rebooted and indeed everything´s o.k. now ... as long as I make use of 
the i3 tiling window manager.

However the problem remains when trying to use the *Moksha DE*. Still 
I´m presented with a popup. It says:

_*/Display output is not active/*_

I *guess* there´s a dedicated config file for Moksha which needs 
changing but I don´t know where to start here.

Does anybody have a clue and can help me?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Many greetings from Rosika :)
