@MrZardoz777 He doesn't appear to be replying. Tell me how many cores you have and I will tell you how well it will run. (pretty much if you have something like a core 2 duo then you will be fine)
Xen Hypervisor would be a much better choice for the host platform, mainly for the vga passthrough. Only con for xen is you have to compile from source if you want a decent version, which is not really that big of a deal. Vmware is a joke, you're only paying 189 dollars for what? a pretty little GUI and about half the functionality compared to other VM managers? Another prime example of how popular technology beats better technology every time, sad.
Hi can someone tell me how I can do this so I can run Quark!! (It does not work through WINE). I own a legal copy. I just can't switch to Linux because I MUST use this program for work, so I'm stuck with windows. HOW CAN I DO THIS VIRTUALIZATION AND HAVE WINDOWS RUN AS A DESKTOP WITHIN MY LINUX?
I HAVE LINUX UBUNTU 10.04 (WILL NOT GO UP TO 10.10 OR 11.04)
Im going to try again to switch from windows to ubuntu. I will run windows xp and mac os x snow leopard in virtual machines. I hope my plan runs well with these specs:
Intel core 2 quad q6600 Processor
4GB DDR2 Ram
Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB Video Card
2x500GB HDD's
Ralink RT73 wifi. (Ethernet on my MOBO is broken. :[ )
Asus P5n-e SLI Motherboard
Ubuntu 10.04 x86 on one HDD and Windows Vista Home premium x64 on the other

@JaysonSR vmware fuzion works with linux since mac and linux are unix based
slide in you windows disk onto linux os cpu then play games on it its gonna look like a window on linux with windows w/e and you play the game in their
@jrmdhdc Yeah I understand the process of making virtualization work. I just want to find a method that allows high end applications to run efficiently. Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 proved to work for office type stuff but most video intensive software suffered under this environment.
You still need a licensed copy of Windows - so why not just cut out the middle man and dual boot instead. Sure you can use virtualization, and apps like Wine, etc but it's just a lot of extra effort. If you are going to use Windows anyway to play games, etc just use it (a lot of USB/FireWire audio interfaces don't work when used in a virtual machine nor do they have Linux drivers). If you want to watch porn and not worry about viruses then boot into Ubuntu.
@Criizar10 I'm sorry mate but you are wrong everything is working just you do not know how to configure it. I use my USB devices without any problems. I have access to all my virtual machines from outside of my PC (my PC is transparent ) just some bridging and iptables and all works just fine.

Games and many great professional apps only run on windows or mac. And proprietary graphics drivers are a pain to install on linux, so unless you're sitting on old hardware, you can't use compiz or even basic visual effects. I love linux still though, and would use it exclusively if these issues were resolved. The future is linux.
@h3Xh3Xh3X Proprietary graphics take less than a minute to install on any distro, it's pretty fucking simple. And yes, even new hardware. ATi and NVidia actively release drivers for Linux that work perfectly for their state-of-the-art GPUs, so shut the hell up :)
@MrLucron No need to flame. We all know the proprietary binary drivers are crap, leave watermarks, and that an open solution would be much more viable. I've had ubuntu on three different machines and none have managed to have even basic desktop effects enabled. I'm not hating, I'm just stating fact from experience. Maybe you should come over and install them for me if it's so simple. :)
@h3Xh3Xh3X as I said earlier it just works. Come on mate my friend who has no idea about linux/ubuntu started to use that when he saw how it works on my laptop and after two weeks of working on it he just love it. All 3D gizmos/ compiz all works perfectly :)
@kpwlek With Maverick it works out of the box, which is pretty awesome. Before installing 10.10 however, it didn't work no matter what I tried. You can't convince me it "just works" if I have the experience that it "just doesn't work". You have to understand that your personal experience may differ from mine.
8. Combine Compiz Fusion and CairoDock and you suddenly have a much more friendly interface, intended for multimedia and visual effects.
9. If you get tired of Gnome, which follows the Ubuntu distro, you can just add KDE or any other UI and it'll feel almost like an all new installation.
10. You won't run out of space to do whatever you wanna do on the screen because you can switch desktops and move windows between those.
For multimedia i would recon ArtistX for nr 7, it's stuffed big time^^

Defragging used to annoy the shit out of me. You would think a Multi billion dollar company that pumps out millions of copies of a commercially licensed Operating System would take a lesson in

@taluzoid I dont know what he has for specs, but you can do everything he's doing on a pentium 4 at 2.4 GHZ with a fairly decent 3d graphics card and still have enough recources to run windows vista :)
@taluzoid I dont know what he has for specs, but you can do everything he's doing on a Pentium 4 @ 2.4 (or an AMD equivalent) with 1.5GB of RAM and a fairy decent GPU and still have enough resources to run windows vista.
I've never been a pronunciation cop...and to each his own...but more people would understand what you are talking about and probably be more likely to follow you, if you said "OOHBOONTOO Feisty BAY-tah".
@h1ll37 I know, but the issue here is not "being able to play the game", it's actually "being able to play it at full graphical capabilities". I've compared one game so far, running it both in Windows and Linux (the game is Heroes of Newerth) and it runs much smoother in Windows. ): Which is sad.
Hey could someone help me out i know how to burn data dvd and cd's and stuff liek that but i cannot find anythign on the ubuntu forums giving good advice on how to burn video dvd's that will play and a normal home dvd player can soemone help me out
data cds and dvds can be burnt from the ubuntu desktop using nautilus. just insert blank media in your burner. For burning video dvds try brasero. It should be installed by default.
I'm right there with you, Franklin. I discovered Ubuntu about two years ago, but never started seriously using it until 9.10 came out, but now I have seen the light!
The best programs are for mac and Windows so I like them more but I'm on Ubuntu now and like how much you can change around and make it look how you like it.
@foozid Ok, i thought it was based on Linux, it looks & handle almost just as Linux, but what's the difference between BSD and Linux? Isn't that almost the same?
bsd is basically the free version of the original unix. linux was started from scratch and doesn't have (or shouldn't have) any of the original unix source code. linux has a different kernel. freebsd has a more restricted license and has linux compatibility layers, but linux is free to modify and distribute but as far as i'm aware it has no bsd compatibility (not like it really needs it anyway)
@oficinax Yup, i'm nuts haha. I found out later that i was wrong about that, Mac is based on Unix, not Linux. Still much i don't quite know, but shit happens...
@somethings90 You're right. You can get free apps for Windows and Mac.
I didn't thought of this at that time...
Its time for me to check out the latest Ubuntu Ultimate 2.6, it's maybe not perfect, but it have almost everything needed to replace both Windows and Mac.
I rather use Ultimate Edition, a modified Ubuntu packed with loads of apps, than the boring Ubuntu standard.
Sorry My Friend but I don't agree with you, MacOSX is not based on linux (for the license issues). MacOSX is based in the rock-solid operating system, I mean FreeBSD and NetBSD. They prefer use BSD license for the diference. Linux is Monolitic kernel and MacOSX is a Mach kernel. Look at Wikipedia for the right information.
@spectrospirit Mac isn't based on Linux, both are just based on Unix. I've personally tried all these systems and variations of them, to me OSX is my favourite because it is simple, reliable and syncs with my iPod and iPhone unintentionally. However, I do agree that Linux is an amazing and genius idea that governments should be sponsoring and using as a standard OS as opposed to OSX and Windows seeing as its a lot more cheaper and is open-source.
@MoDapation Hmm... you're right. I like Linux very much alltough Apple OSX is just as god, but i think they need some more colours in their theme, like Linux allready have.
The thing i like best with Linux is that everyone can contribute to make the system even better.
It's allmost like big company's such as Microsoft and Apple suddenly got tiny because Linux is not created by a company, but by people with ideas from all over the world who want to improve it.
@spectrospirit Yeah when someone is running Linux as their standard system, the modifications they personally make to it reflect them as a person, whether it be performance wise or interface wise, with OS X you don't get that as its customization of things is quite limited but it still looks good and runs smooth haha.
u obviously dont know shit about unix based operating systems
linux and mac
are Unix based protocol operating systems
unix is the base os for linux, mac, maemo, gentoo etc
u should shutup because the only reason why macs cost alot (im a mac and linux fan)
is because they make almost all their hardware except the intel chips they even had their own until they made an agreement with intel corp so plz know your facts

I am guessing flash in a 64 bit environment? It really is as easy as going into the .mozilla folder, create folder called plugins and the copy paste the adobe flash plugin file to it.
It was almost a deal breaker for me too until it was explained how it all worked for the install.
Thankfully no more waiting for security updates that I should have and no more viruses. Might I suggest you give it another run? Maybe on a test machine? A free OS with loads of free software is hard to beat.
This is why it must be an old quote eh ? when installing a lot of distros now it goes smooth with no needing to find drivers and all that jazz now. As for the cube, it's eye candy just like on the IPhone and how when you move your finger it slides pretty motions, or how my gps does these wobbly things. But if you work with multiple work stations its great, but I assume you have 1 desktop with multiple icons all over it and isn't need for your environment.
I like it when people show us why Ubuntu is so great, and most of the time they say something like:"Look,Ubuntu is so f**king cool, I mean I can run MS Visual studio, I can run FL studio, Google Earth,my Windows games, and to show you why I really like it,I will run Windows on it right now,only for you :D !!!"Considering this convincing arguments I can only be amazed by what a stupid cube can do to people.... (P.S:I am a Happy Ubuntu user, but only because of the jelly windows,THAT is a REASON )
I see what you're saying, but I think Linux advocates tend to bring its ability to run windows/windows apps into the picture is to show people who only know windows and certain windows apps that they don't need to give it/them up to give Linux a try. That's an easier sell than telling them to drop it totally, plus any software they've bought to go with it.
I tried to install vmware-player 2.5.2 on my jaunty installation. It says it installed but I see no evidence of it anywhere. I tried typing vmware-player in the terminal and it brings up nothing =/
Can some one tell me the steps to setting this configuration up? I'm interested to replicate it. I checked Robbie website and could not find any references to it. I found a reference to Virtual 3D on his site called Unity but no ref to how to configure it. Is this demo of Ubuntu using 3D desktop~Compiz or Beryl-3D Matrix? Sounds like he is running Vmware DeskTop 6 with Ubuntu as client. Is there a method to do this just using Ubuntu-3D or must I purchase expensive Vmware application?
Do you mean how to enable all the 3D/snow/flashy effects? That's simple enough, after you let Nautilus install the proprietary drivers type "sudo apt-get install compizconfig" and from there you can customize everything from system/preferences/compizconfig settings manager.
As far as running a virtual desktop without the usual dual boot method. I would reference the ubuntu forums. Almost any question you can think of has already been answered there or will be within a few days of asking.
dude..trust me...JUST WAIT---ULL SEE THE SHITY DARK SIDE OF IT WHICH I GOT THE FIRST MINUTE WHEN I TRIED TO INSTALL VLC... NOTHIN WORKS ON IT.. SO CALLED SUDO..BARELY WORKED... like ARMAX THINGEE PLAYER WHICH IS DESINGED FOR UBUNTU ---IS BBABBBBdly optimized for ubuntu!!! took ages to open.. i recommend to stick to xp
who would be the idiot that wnated to install VLC windows version in a linux system instead of installing VLC for linux, which is the original one? (yes, VLC was born on linux and later ported to linux).
That was just a troll. It's illegal in most states to feed them because they just keep getting bigger and coming back. Nobody is dump enough to install Windows VLC when they could just sudo apt-get install vlc
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ubuntu sucks.. nightmare using it.. cant install anything.. impossible to run with ubuntu software..debian red hat---wtfff is that?? ccant even install VLC!!!!!!!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL IT-- I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER...GUESSS WHAT... XP PERFORMED A BILLION TIMES BETTER THAN UBUNTU 9.04 I recommend not using ubuntu.. REALLY BAD OSS.. i thought it would aazming and all that shit..goin to remove it tom... after 3 hours of using it.I WANT TO INSTALL MATLAB--BUT I CANT...
Dude. Its not impossible installing stuff on Ubuntu. I have been using 9.04 for about 3 weeks now and haven't had a single problem installing anything (and i'm still a linux noob. . Vlc runs perfect i can play dvds. I am even playing windows games. Not all i want but enough to keep me happy. If your having problems with stuff go to the forums. That's where i always go when i have problems. there are very very few problems you could be faced with that someone hasn't already answered in the forum
You're supposed to install programs using the Synaptic Package Manager, not through virus-ridden EXEs. In XP, you install programs by going to the company that made it, rather than having the software come to you.
Go to Synaptic, search for VLC, and install it. Easier than Windows!
And installing Vista for me required 17 CD-Rs and 8 hours, and Gateway had already preinstalled it. Ubuntu install took 20 mins and no CD-Rs.
hey ppl- i BELIEVE UBUNTU 9.04 WASNT DESIGNED FOR LOWER END CHEAP PC... which was apparently ubuntu target market.. but lsn.. on my p4 256 ram ati video card-- i think rage-- UBUNTU LAGGED LIKE HEEELLLL it was a nightmare just going through the application and find firefox.. and from my experience --UBUNTU IS INCREDIBLE HARD TO USE EVEN FOR A 19 year old computer user umm--lover! Reason why i booted ubuntu on my pc was because of all the pump up and goodie i got from the articles on it
Who told you Ubuntu was designed to lower end cheap PCs? If you want to use one, there are many lightweight linux distros that will work well on your PC. Ubuntu does not.
Ubuntu is exceptionally easy to use and anyone that uses it properly will find it's easily the best OS available. Its one flaw is a serious lack of support for commercial software, and that's it. Sadly, this means I have to use Vista the majority of the time :(
I would say ubuntu is a good os but not the best available. I think ubuntu is rather bloated. Also any commercial software you use you can find something in linux that will do the same for free and most the time better. You should give some of the other distros a try and try other WM's other then kde and gnome. Once i started playing with openbox i have never gone back to anything else.
So ubuntu and vmware and U have the best possible combination. Free legal reliable plus still can use your favourites programs of cause if i can not find a Linux equivalent
Not that it matters too much but it's pronounced IPA: [uːˈbuːntuː], which is like ooboontoo, and it's baytah (beta) not bet ah. Sorry I'm just a little ocd when it comes to people annunciating correctly. Awesome video though.

Mac is based on Darwin which is based on Unix.
Linux is based on Unix as well. So, they're like brothers.
Although Linux wins on compatibility and it's free.
You also get so much out of a 600MB distro.
Mac has a 4+ GB installer but I feel so cramped up using it.

Ubuntu has that promise to be free all the way down to the core, so just give it a try.

bsd is basically the free version of the original unix. linux was started from scratch and doesn't have (or shouldn't have) any of the original unix source code. linux has a different kernel. freebsd has a more restricted license and has linux compatibility layers, but linux is free to modify and distribute but as far as i'm aware it has no bsd compatibility (not like it really needs it anyway)

Sorry My Friend but I don't agree with you, MacOSX is not based on linux (for the license issues). MacOSX is based in the rock-solid operating system, I mean FreeBSD and NetBSD. They prefer use BSD license for the diference. Linux is Monolitic kernel and MacOSX is a Mach kernel. Look at Wikipedia for the right information.

@spectrospirit Mac isn't based on Linux, both are just based on Unix. I've personally tried all these systems and variations of them, to me OSX is my favourite because it is simple, reliable and syncs with my iPod and iPhone unintentionally. However, I do agree that Linux is an amazing and genius idea that governments should be sponsoring and using as a standard OS as opposed to OSX and Windows seeing as its a lot more cheaper and is open-source.
MoDapation 1 year ago
@MoDapation Hmm... you're right. I like Linux very much alltough Apple OSX is just as god, but i think they need some more colours in their theme, like Linux allready have.
The thing i like best with Linux is that everyone can contribute to make the system even better.
It's allmost like big company's such as Microsoft and Apple suddenly got tiny because Linux is not created by a company, but by people with ideas from all over the world who want to improve it.
Sponsoring is a good idea...
spectrospirit 1 year ago
@spectrospirit Yeah when someone is running Linux as their standard system, the modifications they personally make to it reflect them as a person, whether it be performance wise or interface wise, with OS X you don't get that as its customization of things is quite limited but it still looks good and runs smooth haha.

I am guessing flash in a 64 bit environment? It really is as easy as going into the .mozilla folder, create folder called plugins and the copy paste the adobe flash plugin file to it.
It was almost a deal breaker for me too until it was explained how it all worked for the install.
Thankfully no more waiting for security updates that I should have and no more viruses. Might I suggest you give it another run? Maybe on a test machine? A free OS with loads of free software is hard to beat.

This is why it must be an old quote eh ? when installing a lot of distros now it goes smooth with no needing to find drivers and all that jazz now. As for the cube, it's eye candy just like on the IPhone and how when you move your finger it slides pretty motions, or how my gps does these wobbly things. But if you work with multiple work stations its great, but I assume you have 1 desktop with multiple icons all over it and isn't need for your environment.

I see what you're saying, but I think Linux advocates tend to bring its ability to run windows/windows apps into the picture is to show people who only know windows and certain windows apps that they don't need to give it/them up to give Linux a try. That's an easier sell than telling them to drop it totally, plus any software they've bought to go with it.

Can some one tell me the steps to setting this configuration up? I'm interested to replicate it. I checked Robbie website and could not find any references to it. I found a reference to Virtual 3D on his site called Unity but no ref to how to configure it. Is this demo of Ubuntu using 3D desktop~Compiz or Beryl-3D Matrix? Sounds like he is running Vmware DeskTop 6 with Ubuntu as client. Is there a method to do this just using Ubuntu-3D or must I purchase expensive Vmware application?
dedoughboy 2 years ago
Do you mean how to enable all the 3D/snow/flashy effects? That's simple enough, after you let Nautilus install the proprietary drivers type "sudo apt-get install compizconfig" and from there you can customize everything from system/preferences/compizconfig settings manager.
As far as running a virtual desktop without the usual dual boot method. I would reference the ubuntu forums. Almost any question you can think of has already been answered there or will be within a few days of asking.

You're supposed to install programs using the Synaptic Package Manager, not through virus-ridden EXEs. In XP, you install programs by going to the company that made it, rather than having the software come to you.
Go to Synaptic, search for VLC, and install it. Easier than Windows!
And installing Vista for me required 17 CD-Rs and 8 hours, and Gateway had already preinstalled it. Ubuntu install took 20 mins and no CD-Rs.

I would say ubuntu is a good os but not the best available. I think ubuntu is rather bloated. Also any commercial software you use you can find something in linux that will do the same for free and most the time better. You should give some of the other distros a try and try other WM's other then kde and gnome. Once i started playing with openbox i have never gone back to anything else.
