I love ubuntu, but I always view an upgrade with extreme trepidation. v14 broke vmware, and it took so long to find a solution, that I removed it, and simply ran ubuntu from within a vm.
I'd love to try it again, I really would, as my host OS. But I just can't bring myself to do it again... yet.
- pawadu 10y agoFrom my experience, vmware is what breaks vmware under linux.
- wila 10y agoWorks fine with 16.04.2 LTS so far though.
- Frogolocalypse 10y agoWhat about host shares in the guest OS? That stopped working at 14, and I haven't seen it work since.
- wila 10y agoHost shares should work, but might not be if you use the open-vm-tools. At least in ubuntu 14 it got broken and while upstream fixed it, Ubuntu did not care to fix it in their repo.
- Frogolocalypse 10y agoSo upgrading your OS breaks your applications? Kind of my point.
- pawadu 10y agoYes, if you application was coded to only work with a specific version of the kernel.
