[HOWTO] coLinux - running Linux in Windows


Recommended Posts

I was quite pleased that it worked for me first time.. However, I'll just keep that around to run my favourite apps if i go to windows... Right now, I'm running a dual boot system, and spend most of my time in Ubuntu.

Its a great OS.

By bridging, i mean selecting the two adapters in windows, and saying "bridge". I guess you mean the same thing... I remember reading something about putting type="bridged" in the network flag in the xml setup file, but I didnt do that, I left it as type="tap", as it came, and just bridged the devices in windows

Hi

I am experiencing problems with Kdevelop. The error message generated

when creating a simple hello world KDE application is :

*** Creating configure

autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status:139

make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

When I ran the configure script in the project directory using the

Konsole, the error message I received is relating the QT libraries not

being able to be found.

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (library qt-mt)

not found. Please check your installation!

Have you experience this problem?

I am pretty certain that your problem would be best handled in the regular "*nix client" forums here - not in the "Completed HOWTOs & FAQs".

PM a moderator, and they can split this off for you.

Hi guys,

I haven't been given any instructions yet on how to do this (I'm brand new today).......... as soon as I get the info, I will be glad to do this!

    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.
    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
