GOOOOOOOOD MORNING SEEEAMONKEEEY!

frg_Away
I will tell you in the evening if it was good :)

frg_Away
nsITobin vmware patch is in wip. Will move over the latest stuff from there to 2.53 next.
-
frg_Away
was just on wip so first there
-
nsITobin
I hope it only makes things easier and doesn't suffer any odd regressions important enough to block
-
frg_Away
wonder if I should try it with vbox too
-
nsITobin
tho once it is in i will have to keep an eye on it further mozpatches or newer versions may destabilze it down the road.
-
frg_Away
if it works for some and breaks for others maybe hw acceleration can be preffed off by default in a vm
-
nsITobin
i was also thinking along those lines.. was also mentioned by someone in the mozbug
-
nsITobin
so far it seems as stable as anything else graphically accelerated in VMware but I have a good track record in general with vmware seeing as I been using it since version 4 .. if they hadn't EITHER been bought by broadcomm OR not gone free I would have bought it.. had the money ready to go JUST before the broadcomm announcement
-
nsITobin
I am gonna do a Linux VM
-
frg_Away
likred that vbox supports OS/2 and other odd stuff. But oracle does not give it enough support to be a competitor. Lokking at support sites and bugs reminds me of SeaMonkey. A dollar short and not enough resources to make it great
-
frg_Away
well its Oracle so nothing new here.
-
nsITobin
true
-
nsITobin
but seamonkey i see a bit differently .. putting aside the traditional ragebait about apathy which hasn't even been in play since NealAway went away and never came back.. I see a project that has existed under a different name long before the modern mozis took over all the way back to my very conception of what the internet was going to be after the aols and compuservs died out.. A project that is orthodoxically rebelious and has TRIED to satsifiy
-
nsITobin
whims and anti-goals from above largely from developers who wished it would have gone away in 2005 as intended.
-
nsITobin

nsITobin
Aside from gaining the STINCH of Moonchild by moving to UXP when I suggested it.. which has its own consiquences see uhh .. me.. what else could have the project done up until nowish?
-
nsITobin
other than collapse as mozilla intended.. and that ain't happened yet.. That is how I see it.
-
nsITobin
and of course the why it hasn;t is because of all of you
-
frg_Away
I don't think there is any intention. It is mostly juat indifference. TB gets broken frequently and this should not happen too. Still some good people around which helped us.
-
nsITobin
well I rememeber why I didn't hang out in firefox spaces after 2009 and really its the same reason I was shoved in a room basically by my self .. because I have questions and know enough when I am being bullshitted by what this codebase can and should do.. xpfe vs toolkit back then and xul vs html now.. except now I am autobanned from every official room now
-
nsITobin
contributors cannot be expected to know the development history or technical details of the project they are contributing to its unfair and offtopic according to Standard8 and a few others.
-
Harzilein
thanks for reminding me of the /. "audience" shit storm a while ago.
-
nsITobin
i still wanna know why esr24 38 and 52 are excluded from source code indexing when they moved from mxr to dxr an official reason because 31 and 45 are reletively unimportant
-
Harzilein
i think that's a similar situation
-
nsITobin
I really put my best foot forward the first half of 2024 on Mozilla matrix and I ended up banned .. should have came in all fuckin moron this and exterminate that and it would be the same difference.. but i blame mozilla culture cause i witnessed others being similarly treated when asking questions with "too much depth"
-
nsITobin
frg_Away: yeah to test this for linux on vmware is gonna be a whole ordeal
-
nsITobin
-
nsITobin
so basically by default there is no actual way to not use llvmpipe on linux
-
nsITobin
without specialized care
-
nsITobin
windows .. install vmware tools and boom there you go
-
nsITobin
frg_Away: how should I proceed?
-
nsITobin
cause linux with vmware svga is a specialized setup in and of its self
-
frg_Away
I am just doing some tests in vbox. Can kep the patch as wip a while. These are skipped for releases.
-
nsITobin
really the biggest benefit is Windows VMWare virtualized development for everything except mp4 hardware decoding ..
-
nsITobin
I can't seem to figure out how to get this switched to vmware svga from llvmpipe the kernel module for the vmware graphics driver is there and loaded
-
nsITobin
- Linux host prerequisite: The latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers are required to have 3D graphics acceleration in the guest. For Linux hosts, AMD devices are not supported
-
nsITobin
that doesn't seem right cause I have acceleration in Windows
-
nsITobin
guest
-
nsITobin
on a linux host
-
nsITobin
ok i give up.. I can't create a VMWare Linux VM with guest 3d acceleration unless I use a distro OUTSIDE SeaMonkey's python version
-
nsITobin
maybe from a windows host it would work better?
-
nsITobin
this is why I don't virtualize linux and just stay on windows
-
nsITobin
don't worry frg_Away I am sure I will give up a few more times before I succeed LOL
-
nsITobin
frg_Away: done more research also bashing .. I don't think anyone has gotten Linux VMWare SVGA Acceleration working for damn near 10 years
-
nsITobin
and why would they kvm is prefered
-
nsITobin
llvmpipe is considered Good Enough(tm)
-
nsITobin
and that is where all the dev has gone these past several years as near as I can tell
-
nsITobin
that and kvm
-
frg_Away
running some errands today and will fix up 2.53 first. I usually use vbox under Windows only anyway.
-
nsITobin
yeah one would expect this to be something that just works or a few clicks to work but seems all the effort has been made on llvmpipe in linux land and windows guest acceleration in vmware land
-
nsITobin
I'll try current fedora if that fails I dunno maybe just ifdef the thing to be windows only cause that is where it is most needed anyway devwise
-
nsITobin
could also see about what drivers vbox uses on windows and adding those see if they work
-
nsITobin
for now.. I have to delete this pepperoni before I can do much else
