Alibre 11 under Ubuntu 8.10, VirtualBox 2.0.4, and Win 2008

Post by Jaime »

I'm testing the new windows server 2008 standard edition, 60 day trial. I installed the new Alibre 11, but as you will see on the screenshots, the program installs but you still can't use it, at least not under a VM it seems, plus you still have that annoying username and password to get through before you can even open the program. It just took me a while to find that information since I haven't used this for a long time now. I just figured it was a good time to test this at the same time. I'll post the screenshots once this option is added. I currently don't have an attach option when I edit postings.

Note: Don't bother trying to run Alibre 11 under wine, it just doen's work.

I just tried installing Alibre 11.1, while it installs fine I have issues with the graphics display.

The work/sketch area is grey which seems to be indicating its a display/directx issue. This makes the program totally unusable :(

Ubuntu 8.10 Host, VBox 2.2.0, Vista x32 SP1 Guest with Guest Additions Installed.
