How to fix 3d rendering for a Windows guest in VMWare Workstation 11 Ubuntu 14.10 host
Hi all!
Getting a message when you start your Windows guest in VMWare Workstation 11 hosted by Ubuntu 14.10?
I was, and I had a little trouble finding a fix, until finally it worked! it’s simply a matter of upgrading to the latest OpenGL drivers in Ubuntu.
To install open a terminal window and enter
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To remove, you can use ppa-purge
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
|
Now when you start your Windows guest, it should no longer complain about 3D acceleration!
That’s it! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reply!
