=== jjb is now known as oao [09:46] 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] duflu: do you know ? [10:01] om26er: i seem to remember that there's an issue with graphics driver running mir with vmware. [10:11] om26er: Sorry I was on a call.... [10:12] om26er: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1118903/comments/42 [10:12] Ubuntu bug 1118903 in mir (Ubuntu) "[enhancement] Mir lacks a software rendering backend (and doesn't work in virtual machines)" [High,Triaged] [10:13] duflu: hmm, I wonder if I could run unity in another tty ? [10:13] om26er: kvm with qxl as graphics card mode, and spice for the displaying widget would work.. [10:13] 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 [10:14] om26er: It should be possible. We test Mir running different servers on different VTs. Only LightDM etc is restricting that [10:14] om26er: the only restriction here is that the display border guestures do not work well since xenial or wily [10:14] * duflu -> EOD [10:15] anpok: I did run unity8 in kvm a while ago but that was unity8-session snap thing, where everything was crashing [10:15] om26er: I had unity8 working in vmware player a few months back [10:15] I don't think I did anything special [10:16] hm i am regularly running it with virt-manager - but yes it will crash on startup if you do not select qxl [10:16] this is a limitation we will lift soon.. [10:16] and vbox ought to work then too === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === badpeaches is now known as Guest43574 === Guest43574 is now known as notes === notes is now known as Guest22583 === Guest22583 is now known as hunniebunnies === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === hunniebunnies is now known as badpeaches === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === JanC_ is now known as JanC [16:47] @unity can I get a review for https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/unity8/snap-root2/+merge/307981 ? [16:47] Relatively simple, and is needed for our u8-in-snap effort [16:50] mterry, ok, testing it now [16:50] thx! [17:09] dednick: hey, I've a bunch of qtubuntu branches up for review, could you spare some time for them at some stage? [17:09] greyback_: howdy. sure can. [17:09] thanks.
