VMWare Server and Compiz Fusion do not play at all!? Yes I believe the problem is still persists. At least for me!
I have the following installed Ubuntu 7.10 + Compiz-fusion + vmware-server 1.0.4 If I start vmware and run Windows XP Prof. on it (while Im in the default "Run Xclient scripts" session) the first pages of lines with BIOS info (which seems btw seems to be the wrong version of the vmware BIOS - i.e. the dates are up to 82 if i remember correctly) and GRUB are there. Note - it is not possible to enter the vmware BIOS in this session! However when choose windows the windows splash screen is supposed to pop up... But that does NOT happen - it just gives a black (blank) screen. However, it is clear that windows is actually loading and runnung, since the screen resizes itself appropriately. It is just not possible to log in since i cant see anything. Now, if I log out of the default session. Choose the failsafe GNOME session, and Then start vmware server. Everthing works like a charm! The VMware BIOS is displayed correctly (the dates are new - i.e. up to 2006) AND it IS possible to enter the vmware BIOS! After choosing windows XP Prog. the splash screen is displayed and I can log on to windows normally. Everything works. I can do what I need to do and shut it down, and turn back to Ubuntu. No errors what so ever! Clearly, something is getting in the way when in "Run Xclient scripts" Session. However, I actually Turned OFF Compiz-Fusion when I was in the "Run Xclient scripts" session. So it must have something to do with the transition from failsafe GNOME session to "Run Xclient scripts" session. Turning what ever it is off would probably fix this. Well Im not an expert on that. I really hope that this can be fixed. Its very annoying not to be able to use the fancy shmancy 3D dekstop with windows on one of the sides. :) I have a IBM Thinkpad T60, 2GB RAM, X1400 w 128 MB Graphics Card -- VMWare Server and Compiz Fusion do not play nice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
