Re: vinux 3.0 on bootcamp

2010-06-15 Thread Larry Skutchan
How are you getting the volume level up where you can hear it. I always have to 
go to Ubuntu's System Settings and raise the volume there. It is fine until I 
reboot where it returns to such a low level that it is very difficult to hear.
I suspect this should work under Boot Camp just as well if not better.

You can use insirt and pageup to raise the volume.  Hope this helps,

RE: vinux 3.0 on bootcamp

2010-06-15 Thread Bryan Smart
Actually, Larry, it runs better in VMware. In VMware, you have a virtualized 
set of hardware that is visible to the guest, and VMware Tools includes Linux 
drivers for the virtualized hardware. Under BootCamp, though, Apple doesn't 
provide drivers for anything other than Windows. Linux has support for lots of 
Mac hardware, but some devices won't work. I think that wireless on the new MBP 
models falls in to this category. I'm sure that someone out there has hacked up 
a fix, so you can probably get it working, but will require quite a bit of 
extra effort.

Don't forget to manually add the option to the VMX file to reduce the buffer 
size of the virtualized audio device, or else the latency between a key press 
and speech will be fairly long.

pciSound.playBuffer = 16

16 works fine on my MBP, but you might need to adjust. With 16, speech in 
virtual machines seems just as snappy as physical machines. Lower than 16, 
though, and I get crackling. So, if your speech is choppy after this tweak, up 
it a bit.

BTW: You must completely close a VM, change the vmx file, and then restart it. 
Editing while the VM is active won't change the live setting, and your changes 
can be overwritten when the VM closes.

I wish that they'd allow people to adjust the size of the record buffer. All 
audio going in to a VM is on about a 1 second delay. Makes it difficult to use 
VoIP applications.

Don't think you can put vinux in bootcamp, I believe that's for windows only.
