Re: Screen resolution of a Linux VM

Thanks for your answers.

As said before, the live system does not offer root / su access and does not allow any settngs.

that's why I thought, fusion / player could immulate a hardware display max. resolution which is automatically recognized by te guest os. same procedure that happens, when I connect a display to a dedicated pc, running this live system.

as it seems, this is not possible ..

Screen resolution of a Linux VM

wurzelsepp1 — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 11:31:48 GMT

Hi all

I managed to transfer a live systen (Lubuntu) to a VM. ON WS Player, it starts in a smal display respolution wich cannot be adjusted. So, in flull screen, you see a small window on a really large monitor.

Is there any tweak to make the guest adjust / recognize the virtual monitor.

Running the live system on a dedicated machine, the automatic adjustment to the monitor size works.

And: We don't have root access to the live system.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi again,

that idea didn't work but I found a workaround:

I read the stick with a Windows image creator that makes VHM files. After that the image can be opened with Fusion. This VM starts as it should.

I have no idea why this is the only way to make it work ..

Thank you. I'll try that tomorrow and ask more stupid questions - e.g. how to make thatrun without the usb stick - after.

Have a nice evening

I have no idea how to do that, sorry.

I guess it needs a linux machine. we have windows and mac only.

For that, I would need a simple guide

That would be the normal way ..

The story behind: It's a highly customized linux build for a remot acedd scenario. and: it does not provide root access.

the purpose of that "project" is, to be able to run that live-system in a window on a desktop or notbook and not (as desired) on a dedicated machine.

Sure

I used the disk tool of Mac OS to create an image of the drive.

After that didn't work, I used a windows tool to create an iso image.

Both had the same "no os on disk" eroor when fusion tries to start it.

Thanks, but this tool cannot convert usb-devices into something helpful for fusion

Create VM from a linus live stick?

wurzelsepp1 — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 14:52:42 GMT

I would like to create a VM from an existing USB stickt that contains a live system based on ubuntu for a standard intel pc.

I did the following:

- created an image from the stick
- created a new vm in fusion from that image
- selected linux / ubuntu as os, as it is not recognized automatically

after starting the vm, it says "no os found"

It's maybe not as easy, as I thought it could be ..

That is the solution. The Software didn't ask me to do so.

Thank you for the hint!

No Drag and Drop after update

wurzelsepp1 — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 13:51:43 GMT

After updating to the latest version (13.5) drag'n drop functionality got lost. of course it is switched on.

I'm using a vm that was used with the prvious version of fusion. guest is win 10.

ios there a workaround?

Thanks,
