om26erHello! Is it possible to run unity8 session in a VM ? I am doing some debugging and need to log into unity8 session to do the testing, I would rather save time if it was possible to run unity8 in VM09:46
om26erduflu: do you know ?09:46
dednickom26er: i seem to remember that there's an issue with graphics driver running mir with vmware.10:01
dufluom26er: Sorry I was on a call....10:11
dufluom26er: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1118903/comments/4210:12
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1118903 in mir (Ubuntu) "[enhancement] Mir lacks a software rendering backend (and doesn't work in virtual machines)" [High,Triaged]10:12
om26erduflu: hmm, I wonder if I could run unity in another tty ?10:13
anpokom26er: kvm with qxl as graphics card mode, and spice for the displaying widget would work..10:13
dufluI don't know the state of VMware. VMware themselves added support a couple of years ago. I hope it has not bitrotted but don't know10:13
dufluom26er: It should be possible. We test Mir running different servers on different VTs. Only LightDM etc is restricting that10:14
anpokom26er: the only restriction here is that the display border guestures do not work well since xenial or wily10:14
* duflu -> EOD10:14
om26eranpok: I did run unity8 in kvm a while ago but that was unity8-session snap thing, where everything was crashing10:15
greybackom26er: I had unity8 working in vmware player a few months back10:15
greybackI don't think I did anything special10:15
anpokhm i am regularly running it with virt-manager - but yes it will crash on startup if you do not select qxl10:16
anpokthis is a limitation we will lift soon..10:16
anpokand vbox ought to work then too10:16
