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
