GUI Client in QNAP Ubuntu Linux Station 20.04

Submitted by gunvals on #1

Hello,
I have a licensed Virtualhere server running on my Qnap TS-251+ (x86-64), been accessing it from a Win7 gui client for several years with no problems. Now I want to install the gui client in Qnap's Ubuntu Linux Station 20.04 which runs as an lxc container on the same Qnap running server. I downloaded the 64 bit Linux gui client, made it executable, but nothing happens when I run it from Files. I then tried running "sudo ./vhuit64" in a terminal, and at first it said something about a missing libcanberra-gtk-module, so did an apt-get install and that fixed the missing module problem. When I run it in terminal, it displays a table of data that appears to be measuring upload/download speeds, but still no gui client. Is running the client in a container this way supported, and if so, how to start it?
Thanks!!

Actually you will need to use "Virtualization Station" instead as the VirtualHere client relies on kernel modules which LXC doesn't easily support
