to be honest, i had to tweak it a lot. Single click to open folders/files just sucks, changed to typical double-click, then switched to dark theme, added minimize button back into UI and moved all header buttons to the right, but overlay im happy with it
Used my own tutorial at work while moving to linux, since i need Windows VM to run Photoshop + for testing as well i guess (web dev)
Runs fine, Windows VM has few BSODs, but whats weird that photoshop keeps freezing up from time to time, but that could be related to something else, cuz im loading files from SMB share from my linux host, so windows may be just derping connecting to that
i was thinking about this a lot, first tried just RDP into Windows VM, but quality+performance was poor even connecting to local VM, then had KVM in mind, but that would be too much work to keep switching between host/client all the time. Decided to just buy synergy instead, works fine
but it really depends, if your VM has dedicated monitor, kvm switch/synergy would be fine, if you have fake monitor plug, guess you could try setting up looking glass.
I decided to just dedicate one monitor, since i had one monitor just for photoshop when i was full Windows anyway
@elixir77 I thought about getting a KVM switch but instead Iâm using a âsoft switchâ, essentially just run a script to disconnect / connect the moose and keyboard from the VM. Thereâs a little bit of delay but at the moment I have to physically swap the monitor connection (another cable is coming soon) between Mobo and GPU so itâs fine.
I can write up a little guide for that if anyoneâs interested.
@wUFr yeah Iâve been planning on trying out synergy but it doesnât support Wayland yet which is unfortunate. Luckily itâs not too difficult to switch back to X for the time being. Iâll probably use synergy when I get my new monitor.
One more thing, wanted to share these guides. Have some useful information for optimization.
also, decided to change title of this thread a bit, since all this should work on Ubuntu 18+ as well and removed âbetaâ since i managed to set this all up in fully released EOS 5
everything works fine, except storage, which i assume is VIRTIO driver issue in Windows 10 VM, sometimes it gets terrible read speeds or even BSODs⌠to be fair i may f-cked it myself, when i was trying to use memory balooning feature, which seemed broken. It would still use all the ram in host OS and Windows VM ram would still show 16GB with only difference it being almost always full - which i assume was some driver issue⌠idk
kinda sad, considering hyper-V can do dynamic memory with Windows VM, so im gonna blame VIRTIO drivers
wasnt it because of gpu passthrough you cannot use dynamic memory at the same time? i think it was the same on hyper-v but not sure, cant rememberâŚ
virtio drivers are latest?
Iâm on a i7 9700k + rtx 2070, I got to the âreboot and prayâ but I donât think I prayed enough because Iâm getting a black screen, Intel integrated graphics are enabled in the bios but I donât thing Linux picks up on it, Iâm just getting a black screen after the reboot. Help what do I do
also one non-related âisssueâ (may help someone).
If you have GPUs with same IDs and connect new monitor to the VM passed GPU, you may need to reboot WHOLE pc for it to detect correctly.
got new 4K monitor at work for my windows VM and was pretty scared its not working properly or cable is bad, but it simply needed rig reboot to get detected properly. My guess is, its due the way GPU is passed when having same ID as host GPU
