VmWare Worstation Unity mode Linux

[thenightfly]

Hi All,

is there any solution to get Unity mode work on Linux - Gnome systems?|

I'm trying to get this thing work on Centos7 | VmWare W. 12 | Gnome Shell 3.8.4

Has anybody some idea/instruction?TN

Hello,

I'm sorry to inform you that unity has been completely removed for Linux guests as well as Linux hosts.

Hi wila,
thank you for the answer,

This is very saddening and a shame for VmWare to deprive the Linux community.

Which -older- version support this function still?

Regards,

Sorry, I was a bit quick.

I hopw Vm will put back this feature in future relases.

I really miss unity mode. I liked it so much that I was willing to suffer Gnome 3 for its sake (Unity mode doesn't work in Unity (the Ubuntu one) at all; gotta love that namespace collission 🙂

Soooo, as long as we're wishing for stuff, I'm going to ask for a pony and say I not only would like Unity Mode back, but I'd like to have it work in Unity 🙂

I used to have Workstation 10 but had to upgrade to 12 to make something in particular work. Going back is not an option, but I believe I could go down to 11 to get Unity, and the other stuff would probably all work (haven't tested it yet, though). Would anyone happen to know if my Workstation 12 license allows me to downgrade to Workstation 11?

Thanks!
