| floridagram-bot | <govatent> Oh yea. I haven't used workstation on windows. Does it have unity host? I've only used workstation in Linux hosts | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> What is workstation? | 01:21 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> Vmware workstation is the equivalent of virtualbox for desktop use | 13:25 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> There's a free version called vmware player | 13:25 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> on windows, it has unity, not on linux | 13:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> unless i'm missing it | 13:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Oh. VMware. I always use VirtualBox | 13:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> I think you right. Cause I've looked for it. | 13:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> You can get Unity in VirtualBox. But I think Canonical nixed the old interface in favor of Gnome. | 13:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> I used to use virtualbox exclusively. But now it's kind of a given I'd use vmware products | 13:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> unity = seemless mode | 13:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> not unity desktop | 13:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> LightDM with the new UI. | 13:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> Yea. Unity is where the virtualize software will integrate the guest os apps into your main os seemlessly | 13:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Oh. | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Ok. | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> So you can't tell you are in a vm. Instead of doing a max window of your guest os. It's pretty neat | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Seemless Mode in VBox. | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> I'm not sure if even virtualbox has that feature in Linux hosts | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> Oh it does? | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> it does | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> yeah, though the windows 10 guest doesn't work that well with it | 13:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> i'm using a windows 7 guest | 13:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> Workstation is still a supported product. So there a public page for feature requests. I'll put a request for unity feature. | 13:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> okay, because i heard the nixed it after version 7 | 13:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> I'm running 14 | 13:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Um. If you're on Windows 10, you can run most things within WSL. You can get an X server for Windows like xming. Then within Ubuntu, within WSL, edit /etc/profile to include a line DISPLAY=:0. That should allow you to operate seamless. | 13:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> It's not a VM but it works. | 13:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <govatent> Nice | 13:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> yeah, but i'm talking about a windows 10 guest | 13:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> You can also Remote X Display to Windows 10. | 13:31 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Oh. | 13:31 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> I don't think you can seamless on Windows 10 guest at all. Can you? | 13:31 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> yeah, using the windows 10 seamless mode in vbox is kinda buggy, open up the start menu and it disappears | 13:31 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> my team lead uses a windows 10 vm on his mac and it works decently | 13:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> well, unity mode because he uses vmware | 13:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Hm. Well, personally I'm of the oppinion that Windows is good at graphics and GUI stuff. Linux is good at server stuff. I tend to use Windows host and Linux guest. Everything works. | 13:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Linux is also best at working with files, devices, and textual manipulation. I need both. | 13:34 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> yeah, but i like my linux running on bare metal | 13:35 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> I wouldn't even know how to open a serial port and send exact bytes to a mobile device through Windows. You can do it from the command line in Linux. | 13:36 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> *without designing a program | 13:36 |
| floridagram-bot | <chuckr> The cars a Hyundai | 19:37 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> What @chuckr? | 22:25 |
| floridagram-bot | <chuckr> The picture I side the car. | 22:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <chuckr> Hate phone keyboard | 22:29 |
