| om26er | Hello! 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 VM | 09:46 |
|---|---|---|
| om26er | duflu: do you know ? | 09:46 |
| dednick | om26er: i seem to remember that there's an issue with graphics driver running mir with vmware. | 10:01 |
| duflu | om26er: Sorry I was on a call.... | 10:11 |
| duflu | om26er: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1118903/comments/42 | 10:12 |
| 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 |
| om26er | duflu: hmm, I wonder if I could run unity in another tty ? | 10:13 |
| anpok | om26er: kvm with qxl as graphics card mode, and spice for the displaying widget would work.. | 10:13 |
| duflu | I 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 know | 10:13 |
| duflu | om26er: It should be possible. We test Mir running different servers on different VTs. Only LightDM etc is restricting that | 10:14 |
| anpok | om26er: the only restriction here is that the display border guestures do not work well since xenial or wily | 10:14 |
| * duflu -> EOD | 10:14 | |
| om26er | anpok: I did run unity8 in kvm a while ago but that was unity8-session snap thing, where everything was crashing | 10:15 |
| greyback | om26er: I had unity8 working in vmware player a few months back | 10:15 |
| greyback | I don't think I did anything special | 10:15 |
| anpok | hm i am regularly running it with virt-manager - but yes it will crash on startup if you do not select qxl | 10:16 |
| anpok | this is a limitation we will lift soon.. | 10:16 |
| anpok | and vbox ought to work then too | 10:16 |

| mterry | @unity can I get a review for https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/unity8/snap-root2/+merge/307981 ? | 16:47 |
| mterry | Relatively simple, and is needed for our u8-in-snap effort | 16:47 |
| mzanetti | mterry, ok, testing it now | 16:50 |
| mterry | thx! | 16:50 |
