|
 |
Hey guys,
I can't seem to set the appropriate resolution of 1920x1080 in my linux guest system in vmware. It works in Virtualbox when I disable 3D acceleration but virtualbox is generally slow as fuck so I want it to work in vmware :/ Any ideas?
Manually fiddling around with the monitors.xml didn't work.

I use VMWare Player and everything works fine for both U and EOS. Not only that, but the dynamic resolution adjustment when resizing the window also works. I use the quick install option, so it probably installs the drivers in the process.

Maybe installing the guest addons might help, if you have not tried that yet?

I got an Ubuntu question : Why (the fuck) when there is for example a right click menu open, I can't click anywhere else, or drag windows etc ?
I first have to click somewhere so that the menu closes, then click again for it to actually register. Why am I not able to ignore the menu altogether like in Windows ?

It works fine in Ubuntu 12.04, I heard they changed something in later versions to be more phone-like (you can't even right click on desktop in 14.04, or I heard wrong).

Why not Ubuntu 12.04? I'm using it at work for cross-compiling and it works great, and also the updates will be released until 2017. Latest point release is 12.04.4.
Alternatively, Debian 7 or CentOS 6.5 if it's building and building only.

If you're feeling a bit adventurous try Arch Linux, it's the one I use. You build the system from the basics, so you only install what you need, no broken ass shit.

Can I just update my elementary os from within or do I need to setup a whole new VM? And what about my installed extras (like the ones that you used to customize the various panels and so on)

Holy crap that Zorin OS Ubuntu derivative is niiiice !
Windows 7 inspired, desktop shortcuts, start button, pinned/running apps on a taskbar with preview/info on hover, tray bar, cube-style switching multiple desktops and lots of fancy effects ... 
Also, comes with proper programs instead of trying to fit in a CD. Chrome, LibreOffice, Wine.Playonlinux, windows wireless drivers(wat) ...
EDIT: After installing the VirtualBox guest additions it seems to be lighter than Unity3D or just working better under VB. YES !!!
