Assuming virt-manager is installed on the KVM server.

It would not be, that would not make sense. LOL

That would be different in every way. That's not virt-manager on Windows, that's just remoting into a remote system. If we had a GUI on there, we'd just use MeshCentral.

What's preventing you from using a headless GUI? I was doing that **** in the mid 90s on IRIX, what's changed that it wouldn't work now?

Other than it's a really poor way to do things? What's wrong with wanting a good solution? We have a good solution on Linux, talking over an API. It is very efficient. Doing remote desktops to many machines is 1) ridiculous 2) insanely inefficient 3) a different result - how would you see all those systems in the same GUI?

Anyone know of someone in the Houston area that can do termination of six strand fiber?

@StorageNinja

A quick search definitely suggests that current Fedora or Ubuntu are not options. Only LTS releases are supported. And if you Google it, any search for Fedora just shows people using CentOS.

From Zabbix official repository

Zabbix SIA provides official RPM and DEB packages for:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Debian
• Ubuntu LTS

Not all of your info is included. What was the source of the Zabbix packages? By their name, those are RHEL / CentOS packages, not Fedora packages. So different libraries.

@scottalanmiller said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email:

@Obsolesce Yeah, that's not bad. Outlook definitely handles it better than many.

Don't remember off hand with Gmail.

What I do know, is that I never miss emails in conversation view. I've only missed emials with Outlooks dumb "focused inbox" feature. But never with conversation view. I separate emails too after they are processed. But guess I use emial differently than you.

If the conversation is ongoing, I don't think I move it anywhere. If I have email tasks to do, I'll simply flag it for follow-up, or right-click on it to add as a task.... all while the conversation can continue to flow as normal.

Focused Inbox, Clutter that you can't turn off... so many other issues with MS mailboxes

@Francesco-Provino said in virt-manager for Windows:

You can use Xming and just leverage the regular virt-manager via X11, no needs to use different clients. Be careful, virt-manager is on its way on being deprecated. Use virsh and spice-client or a VNC client to access the VMs virtual cons

No GUI on the server.

I searched this b4, forget about it. There is none.

Well that sucks. I wonder why, shouldn't be too hard.

Virt-Viewer is only Windows solution that allows access to your KVM VM's.

It is not at all Virt-Manager, which is install-able throughout the linux world.

https://chocolatey.org/packages/virt-viewer

It's very similar to Mint + Cinnamon. However, Deepin is way more its own OS than Mint is. Mint is very openly a "big tweak of Ubuntu LTS plus two special in house DEs", whereas Deepin is a fully custom OS end to end that is built loosely from Debian sources.

@wrx7m said in Deepin on Fedora 30:

@scottalanmiller Thanks. At first, I thought it was only a DE. Then I saw your post about the installation screens and thought I was wrong; it was just an OS. Now I get it LOL

It was a full OS that made its own DE. Then they released the DE so that it could be installed on other OSes.

Being annoyed by Hyper-V automatic checkpoints.

Simple solution... KVM

Yeah. This is on my work Surface. I'm having to spin up a VM of an OS that shall not be named to test something for Production.

On a Surface, even more reason to use KVM to try to make it more reliable and functional.

Probably needs to be forked. Since KVM's a type 1 hypervisor, can it be installed and auto boot into the "dom 0" VM, like when you enable Hyper-V in Windows 10 pro?

Yup, Hyper-V is a Type 1, too. And it does it KVM is used that way extensively. In fact, it's the only way that it works.

So I'd install Fedora on the bare metal + the pieces needed for KVM + GUI. When Surface boots, it boots into Fedora GUI. From there'd I'd do day-to-day tasks, then use Virt-Manager to spin up VMs as needed for testing.

Yup, that's one normal way to do it!

Just wondering as I've never looked for it before, but it occurred to me that it would be nice to have a virt-manager or similar package for Windows that can talk to libvirt devices. I looked in Chocolatey and didn't find anything, and virt-manager doesn't have a Windows package. Of course you can use things like Kimchi, but just wondering if there was a local tool that would work the same?

Nice.

How well does it perform compared to the others?

And how well compared to Deepin on Deepin?

Now I am confused. Deepin is both an OS and a desktop environment (like KDE and gnome)?

That's correct.

Deepin OS and Deepin DE. Deepin DE is the only desktop environment option of Deepin OS.

@Obsolesce said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email:

@scottalanmiller let's do a little test. I'll PM you my personal email (Outlook.com), and you can send me an email from whatever you want. I'll respond with gibberish, then archive the first email, then you respond and we'll see what it looks like. I'll do screenshots.

okay

Kind of like ML categories. Having a handful of discrete places to organize things lets people search: serious posts, funny posts, platform announcements, job listings, etc. Things that never cross over between them. But if you do SW style folders with a folder for every possible thing, it doesn't work as you can't tell where things go as 100 folders apply to every topic.

@IRJ said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email:

I think the reason people don't see emails is because they have CV and have a very extensive folder system where they miss a notification there, but not because CV view.

Right, if you organize your mails, CV becomes a mess. Because you want current email one place and old email another, and conversations are split between all kinds of organization.

If you organize by sender, but that is actually not very helpful as it's a very easy search filter to use. It makes more sense to organize by subject in most cases. Automated rules sorting by sender don't really mean jack. I've seen people have 40 different folders for that. Absolutely no reason to do so as it's the most used search filter known to email.

I don't organize by anything and it has the problem. Not sure why people organize by stuff, other than a few super basic things, it's just unnecessary noise.

CV seems to be based on the people who simply let their email pile up in one folder forever. It's like enabling the worst behaviour.

@IRJ said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email:

I use it as well. I do hate focused inbox and turn that off. Like you mentioned, I never have issues finding new emails, they always appear at the top. I think the reason people don't see emails is because they have CV and have a very extensive folder system where they miss a notification there, but not because CV view.

There are a few people I work with that sort all emails into a like a million different folders. It's awful. Every time they need to look something up they're searching through folders like crazy. Just leave it all in one place and use the search bar at the top...

No experience with CV though, and focused was certainly a waste of programming time.

I sort into ONE folder. I archive everything I'm done with in one place (okay two, one for work stuff, one for personal.) That's all. So it makes sorting WAY cleaner. But it means CV can't work.

Just archiving mails so that they aren't in your inbox, considered the most basic way people should use email, makes CV a huge problem.

@Obsolesce said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email:

@scottalanmiller said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email:

This is a "focused inbox" issue, not conversation view, and completely separate from it.

What is?

@Obsolesce yeah, oldest first in that view. The problem with CV is that you get your email list twice, not once. One is newest first, one is oldest first.

@scottalanmiller said in Why Do Email Readers Always Default to Oldest Email First:

Seriously, does anyone actually read their email that way?

What? I've never seen that. The default in Google and Outlook is newest first. The only thing that makes sense so you don't have to scroll to the bottom every time to check mail.

The default in outlook is "Conversations view" and that's not the same as "newest first".

Yes it is. The newest mail you receive in the conversation is what it is sorted by. It works great for me.

If I need to find an older email, I'll search and find it quicker anyways, instead of guessing the date and scrolling around trying to find it.

I think Google is newest first email, but oldest first inside the conversation making it supremely confusing.

No, I currently use conversation view in Google and have not changed the default sorting. Conversation view does show the newest first. That's the one it shows in the list.

When you click into the email itself, it shows newest at the bottom, automatically takes you there, and hides the rest.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, their interface isn't consistent (other than being consistently the worst email experience ever made.) Slow and a train wreck. Constant pop ups, needing to go to different screens for things, OMG I've never hated any messaging system more. Google, I swear, is a secret Microsoft project to make people love Exchange. I never realized how good Exchange was till I had to use Gmail for something. Then it is like "Oh, Exchange is really just fine."
