I have a bunch of automated UI tests that currently require a physical monitor to run. Can I somehow create a virtual monitor in Windows 10 that functions like a real monitor to the OS? I want to run the UI tests in a remote cloud environment without screens.
I think I heard sometime that VR-development (Virtual Reality) have had similar problems in that VR also need a physical monitor attached (except the VR-headset) and that this was perhaps solved by Nvidia/Intel? with a fake monitor driver or similar? Or was it virtual desktops in VR? I can't find the source for any of this anymore...
The easiest way is to use the Spacedesk utility:
https://spacedesk.net/
Spacedesk server part is installed on your PC.
The client part (viewer) will also be required - any device on Android/Windows in same LAN segment.
Small hack:
You can also install Windows Client on Spacedesk server PC and manually assign client IP from another subnet. As a result, you will assume real Windows fake display )...

As title say i'm looking for something like Pulseway.
Basically i need to monitor 3.000 devices. And i was wondering if there is something where i can install an agent on this devices and monitor/command them securely via a web panel.
Thanks for your time
You can try to use Monitis Server/Device monitoring. They have agent for both Linux and Windows systems. We are using it for checking our internal servers performance. BTW you can install agent in one machine and monitor other devices with your internal network using internal uptime monitoring. On one agent you can setup as many monitor as you need. here is more details http://www.monitis.com/server-monitoring
Is it possible to access the filesystem directly via USB when i connect it to my Windows PC ?
I don't want to ssh on the system, i want to mount it inside the Windows operating system, so that i can directly write to it without establishing a ssh connection for example.
Any Ideas how to do this ? Or isn't this possible ?
When it comes to simply accessing the file system you can always use some piece of software that will allow you to access linuxish file systems, so you can just plug in the SD card to your Windows machine (A quick google search: http://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/).
However, if you want your Raspberry running during those actions, you could use some sort of usb to serial cable (like this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/954), but you will still need to use Putty or some similar software for the serial connection. On the bright side, connecting your pi that way means it will no longer need an external power supply. Just on a side note, what are your concerns about the ssh connection?
With my limited resources and to aid debugging, I am doing local testing on a client-server (game) application by running both a server and one or more clients all on my Windows 7 dev PC. Both client and server are Java applications developed through Eclipse.
Is there any easy way to introduce lag given that everything is running on the same PC... maybe 'hack' the port used or something? Or is this only possible if each application is running on a separate PC (or separate VM)?
Make a feature in the server which makes a random lag within certain time range if detected connection comes from localhost. You can then switch this feature on/off as needed.
I have a mac running Lion OS, and Windows 7 Ultimate installed on VMware Fusion
on my Windows machine, I have IIS running and I can access it from my mac browser using the IP address such as:
http://192.168.0.10
I am developing an iPhone app on xcode and connecting to IIS as a server to access MS Server DB for testing.
my problem is that I use my mac on many networks such as Work, Home, MiFi and others
every time I change the network the IP changes and every time I need to access IIS I need to update my server IP in my app.
even on my home netwrok or MiFi the IP is the same every time I connect (Dynamic)
I am thinking to access the IIS using the PC name on my windows 7 machine like this:
http://mypcname
to make easier to test without editing the IP every time.
Can anyone guide me how to do that? I did search around many sites and forums to figure it out with no success, maybe I am missing something.
Thanks in advance.
Question mark
I'm wondering whether it's possible for the VM guest machine to pop up a window to the MS-Windows host machine once a task is done within the VM (not an email). If I'm not dreaming, how to achieve that ?
Why
The VM is a simulator for a production server. Code is written within the host IDE and tested straight into the VM. So files are transferred manually from the IDE to the VM, and then automatically moved, formatted, chmoded, chowned and so on in the VM. This process can take a while, so I want to warn the devleopper once the process is over. The developper have no access to the VM and shall not necessary have one.
Config
Tool: VirtualBox 4.1
host: MS-Windows XP or Windows seven
guest: VM Debian
shared dir: yes
network : bridged connection
If this ability existed, it would be quite a security hole in VirtualBox. Guest VMs gaining access to the host machine's OS is not a good thing! As such, I don't think it's possible to accomplish this in a supported manner.
Instead, think of it as two separate machines. What mechanisms do you have for causing alerts or popups on one machine from another? Is anything like IMs, netsend, etc enabled in your environment?
