Subject: [PATCH] how to avoid creating an ubuntu 14.4 LTS template

maybe this method should be added as a general point.
e.g.: "Simulating qubes features for vms without qubes support"

a similar thing could be done for windows hvms, too.
you could use teamviewer or vnc and get audio this way (though i don't know whether vnc can stream audio).

 ------------
+Building an [Ubuntu 14.4 LTS](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/w0uZNr8nno8) template can be difficult.
+A workaround is creating an ubuntu HVM A and use X over ssh from a second vm B ([see](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/-wkG7E55PUI)).
+To do this you have to enable networking between A and B, or set B as netvm of A. 
+If B supports copy and paste or seamless mode so does (indirectly) A. (you will be missing some features. e.g.: send file to vm A) 
+Doing this reduces the security of A to the security of B!
+This is no problem if B's only purpose is providing X over ssh only for vm A.
