tried it
3 times I think

general feel is that its bit cumbersome to setup
and after its finally done and running it runs like shit on my skylake i5
the mouse it tries to grab can be fixed, but general lack of responsiveness and delay when doing shit.

Sure I can dive straight in to forums and groubs and try million settings, I did, but if you spend 2 hours trying to fix the shit, you get bit salty about it...

anyway, since I made the thread, I installed vmware workstation player going by the arch wiki
I always had kinda aversion to it, cause its not in repos or something
but now I actually bothered.. have win 8.1 machine set-up in matter of 5 minutes
works and feels fine, similarly to virtualbox

got bit less interface settings and shit, I guess thats in pro version, but I think it will do till they fix virtualbox

>>57187643
yeap. I am on it now

>>57187652
back to /pol/ with your hate symbols

>>57187212
>pre-Qt versions
But hasn't VirtualBox always used Qt for its UI? IIRC it used Qt back in 2007/8 already, when it was still called Innotek VirtualBox.

could be, but I guess they went for Qt5 from Qt4
and something in i3 is not playing well it

>>57187698
That's some interesting screen corruption.

>>57187743
and its what everyone with i3wm has
its not some local issue

>>57187698
Are you sure you have all dependencies?
Sometimes an application relies on qt-quick and other stuff, but doesn't list it as a dependency because it can compile without it.

>>57187212
VMWare Workstation

qemu worked fine for me, but maybe boxes is better for you, it is the same backend, but with a gui to manage it all.

>>57187754
its wide spread
no one on i3wm has working virtualbox 5.1 and above
from changelog:
>GUI: overall migration to Qt5

>github i3
https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2497
>ticket on virtualbox
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15863

people use something else than products from vmware for virtualization? Tried vbox so many times and it was always complete shit, with thousand errors. vmware just werks

>>57187801
>still using vmware post kernel integration virtualization

>>57187792
just another proof that linux is a broken bug ridden turd

>>57187792
No I got it working sort of. Hit Ctrl+c to use scale mode. Then you can get into the windows resolution options to change it to something less ridiculous. Reboot. Scale mode has been fixing it for me.

In gnome, vbox just crashes my entire x session, so it's even worse there. I *have* to use i3 to use vbox right now

>>57187212
Install gnome and use boxes.

>>57187902
would rather went for LxQt or KDE

The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

>>57187212
install windoze on separate partition?

>>57187936
I got that for games
but if I just do some that does not need gpu performance, its mighty comfy waking win machine in 5 sconds and running there your shit

not to mention when I am testing powershell scripts I get to use snapshots and revert back
and test it on win7/win8/win10 easily

>>57187212
Running vBox 5.1.8 on Gentoo host with 4.8.3 kernel and KDE.
No problems - make sure the kernel modules updated with a kernel update...get

>>57187616
its a piece of shit and slow af

I don't want to start another thread about VM's but my question is: Is there a way to make the virtual machine be able to use 100% of the resources without virtualizing them, I want to be able to run everything in the VM as if it was running natively including the GPU (no pass-through).

>>57189063
no

>>57187212
I guess this is an appropriate thread to ask this question in.

I'm running Windows 7 and want to play around with Linux in a virtual machine. I've tried Virtual Box but it's slow. Is VMware Player a better option?

>>57187212

I've never though I'd live to see a living /g/ meme.

>I guess this is an appropriate thread to ask this question in.

No, it's not, fuck off

>>57189176
I did make it work
still have it here
its just shitty and slow
feels like work in progress
mouse is laggy, programs react like shit

maybe there are some hidden settings and optimalization
but I tried the most common ones, mention in wiki and on few forum posts and it did not help

so yeah, keep looking for your meme retard

>>57189211
Nice comeback kiddo, lurk for two more years before posting again, that is, if you don't want to embarrass yourself.

>>57189123
its about the same
and you want some light distro, that is not using gpu to accelerate its desktop enviroment

ubuntu was always slow
try xubuntu thats pretty nifty in virtualbox

You just keep digging your own grave

>>57189238
Heh... You don't know who you're dealing with, small guy. Step down.

>>57189264
>I did make it work, it just doesn't work
thats not what I wrote

>>57189123
Not much, but it has a better DirectX and OpenGL support.

>>57189266
sure I am, some retard that thinks having the last word on a conversation means he won, even if it's some stupid nonsense shit lime the one you wrote, and probably will write again, but keep it going, you're funny.

>>57189288
You've tried to make it sound like you did made it work when you really didn't, so yeah, it is what you wrote.

>>57189346
I did made it work
it just had worse performance than alternatives
is this concept difficult for you to grasp?

>>57189371
Then you didn't make it work, is that concept difficult for you to grasp?

>>57189384
But I did, thats why it run actual virtual machine.
It worked.
judging performance is not judging if something works or not.

seems thats the difficult part for you.

>>57189433
Bit you didn't, you almost made it work, but if the VM performance was shit, it's becuse you couldn't make it work.

Seems that's the part you can't really understand.

>Lincucks post their wallpaper threads meanwhile when they actually want to use their incestuous riced creations this is what they experience

Just kill yourselves linux faggots. Use ubuntu or Windows or OSX

/g/'s opinion on qubes?

>>57189455
>you almost made it work
No I actually made it work, it just underperformed

>>57189483
ok

>>57189509
>No I actually made it work
No, you didn't, and it didn't "just underperformed", it didn' work. Stop lying to yourself.

>>57189534
>it didn' work
yes it did
we dont use the term "something works" to judge its performance comparable to something else

I am sorry if this concept is troubling you, but thats the truth

>>57189576
>yes it did
No, it didn't.
We don't use the concept "something works" for whem something almost work but doesn't.

I'm sorry if this concept is troubling you, but that's the truth.

if your VMs are slow, you are doing something wrong. add more memory to the VM or RTFM

>>57187698
I had this problem with my wm in gnome.

I just flipped to floating window mode on virtual machine boot.

Then switched back to the tiling once boot up completed.


Solved nigger.

qubes is OSS built on hypervisor Xen, I found it incredibly easy to effectively use.

It gets funded by OTF
Details:https://www.opentech.fund/project/qubes-os

It doesn't support non integrated gpu's officially, though as with any linux project, people find ways to make it work.

Trying to not be a useless cunt

>>57189603
What makes you think it did not work and rather choose the term almost work?

>>57189664
because, based on what you wrote, that's what happened. And before you asked somw retarded shit like "exactly what part made you think that", read what you've wrote and you'll see it.

what makes you think it did work and choose the term "just underperformed"? Because that's not what happened.

>>57189697
Exactly what part of what I wrote made you think that?

>>57189758
read the post you're quoting and you'll understand it.

>>57189772
that post was unclear on specifics
thats why I am asking

You are claiming something
you should know what makes you think that

>>57189781
>that post was unclear on specifics
No, it wasn't, read it again. Also, don't try to avoid my question.

How do you connect a host folder to a Windows guest? 9p or Samba?

>>57187643
>>57187756
>>57187801
VMware is really good on Windows. Not so much on Linux or Mac.

>>57189827
>No, it wasn't
maybe for you it wasnt but for me it was,
thats why I am asking for you to be more specific on a reason why you believe I did not make it work, what you read that made you believe so

while we're on the topic of vbox, why the fuck hasn't the audio lag been fixed yet?

>>57189887
The post is clear and I don't like to write things twice unless I see it necessary. Maybe follow the conversation? see if that helps.
Also, you're still avoiding my question.

>>57189919
It is not for me, sorry
you did not make your post work

>>57189890
Make a bug report.

>>57189931
Don't be a lazy asshole and read it.

>>57189942
I did

>>57189955
Are you sure? Because it doesn't seem so.

>>57189960
positive

>>57189969
Really?

>>57189973
yes, what makes you doubt it?

maybe stop using this shit desktop?

>>57189988
Becasue the post is really, really clear, and you're some stranger online, so I can't really trust you, but then again, you weren't able to read the wiki to make your VM work, so you're probably really this stupid. So, will you answer my question? Or are you gonna keep avoiding it?

>>57187212
Is it possible to VM a router, firewall, nas, plex, torrent, web/db server on a single machine?

>>57190005
Well good that we cleared it out.
I read it.
It was unclear and unspecific to me still.

so if you can be more specific now at this very moment, instead of keeping referring to it and talking about it, which is not very helpful, that would be great

>>57190034
>it was unclear and unspecific
how? in what way? what specific parts of it make you say that? Are you sure you're reading the right post?

>>57190051
>Are you sure you're reading the right post?
I believe so
and it did not answer the question, just repeated what said previously
it did not explain how you come to your opinion specifically

>>57190091
You're probably reading the wrong post, and still not answering my questions, I can't help you if you don't specifically answer what I ask you, and I'm not willing to keep losing my time going around in circles, so yeah, probably analize it and answer my questions.

>>57187212
works on my machine

>>57190121
>You're probably reading the wrong post
doubt it, but link to the post you referring.
so that we are clear about this

>>57190144
First answer my questions. and then link me to the post you're reading so we can clear this.

>>57190155
ok, ask

this is some top-tier special olympics we're witnessing here

>>57190176
I already did, and you're not answering.

>>57190184
I must have missed it, sorry
you can ask again or link to it

>>57190192
No, don't be lazy and read.

>>57190180
I enjoy baiting trolls, especially anime ones
got saturday workout, and between reps its entertaining

>>57190180
what do you mean?

>>57190198
you want me to answer question
but you dont want to ask it, or link to the post where you ask it

I guess its now obvious why you have trouble differencing between something working and not working, like brain for example

>>57190225
Why are you avoiding answering my questions? Is it because you don't have an answer to them? You want help? good, but I will not do your job for you, so, read the posts, and answer my questions so we can proceed. Unless, of course, you don't want to proceed with the conversation and you're trying to go around in circles, like we're doing right now because of some werid reason.

>>57190269
>Why are you avoiding answering my questions?
what question?

>>57190357
So you won't answer? Fine.
If you don't want to keep with the conversation just say it, no need to go around in circles.

>>57189220
you have to use the redhat virtio drivers in windows or qemu performance is going to be trash

>>57189838
use cc boot and just mount things where you want
