Hello,
I try to run Windows 7 in seamless mode at my Qubes. So far everything ist working great. I just have some problems with microsoft teams there. I only see a white screen and cannot login. If I install a normal Windows 7 HVM like in the description without Qubes Windows tools then it is running. Can u tell me what I can try to fix this? It will be good for my work, to run Teams in seamless mode, because then I don’t need to copy the file between vm’s and else. I even tried it with several Windows7 images, And I am only able to install a seamless Windows 7HVM via qvm-create-windows-qube.sh, because I don’t find how to activate the seamless mode in a Winodws 7 HVM. The Quibes documentary is not up to date at this section and said u can do this in the Qubes Manager, but there I cannot find this option.
Maybe there is a working solution via terminal? That will be really great, then I can try to install a fresh win7 hvm with my own Iso, where all the updates are integrated…Maybe this will work.
Or ist it possible to run vmware on the qubes fedora or debian template? But I don’t think so, because at Debian I always get an error GNU C compiler 6.4.1 not found and at Fedora it install vmware, but while installing it started uninstalling and cannot finish the installation. But if this is possible it will be a solution, too and I am very thankful to hear how to fix that problem.
Stay healthy, Best wishes and much thanks for ur support.
I found a solution how to get vmware starting in a debian 10 -template and choosing the right compiler.
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar xf vmmon.tar
tar xf vmnet.tar
cd vmmon-only
make
cd …/vmnet-only
make
cd …
mkdir /lib/modules/uname -r/misc
cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/uname -r/misc/vmmon.ko
cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/uname -r/misc/vmnet.ko
depmod -a
/etc/init.d/vmware restart
But it will be nice to know how to enable seamless mode in a Win7 HVM with a working microsoft teams,too.
I would rather use native Teams client.
However, regarding Win7 seamless mode (to which I am yet to give a try), is there a chance we will ever get rid of that ugly double window decorations?

Hello,
I try to run Windows 7 in seamless mode at my Qubes.
From looking at the create qube script and the batch file it calls, it appears to do the following to enable seamless mode:
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Invisible Things Lab\Qubes Tools\qga" /v SeamlessMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
