Re: [orca-list] virtualization software on linux

[Bart Bunting <bart bunting net au>]

Hey Don,

I have vmware working but orca doesn't appear to read any of it.

So the windows vm works fine but no ability to change settings etc with
vmware.

I'm not entirely sure if it is me or something else as I think others
have reported success.

I'm using Debian unstable and latest vmware workstation 12.1 and orca
from git.

I haven't as yet tried vmware.


Kind regards

Bart
