* ### How do I connect using RDP?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The web-viewer is mainly meant to be used during installation, as its picture quality is low, and it has no audio or clipboard for example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So for a better experience you can connect using any Microsoft Remote Desktop client to the IP of the container, using the username `docker` and by leaving the password empty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a good RDP client for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.androidx) available from the Play Store. One for [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id714464092?l=en-GB) is in the Apple Store. For Linux you can use [rdesktop](http://www.rdesktop.org/) and for Windows you don't need to install anything as it is already ships as part of the operating system.

|
* ### How do I verify if my system supports KVM?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To verify if your system supports KVM, run the following commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install cpu-checker
|
||
|
|
sudo kvm-ok
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you receive an error from `kvm-ok` indicating that KVM acceleration can't be used, check the virtualization settings in the BIOS.
