    Hello,

    I have to virtualize an old SuSE 10 machine. Until now the machine is running, but neither the network nor the x-server is running. I think I have to install the Linux Integration Service into the linux machine. Is it possible to get an old version of the lis software for this use case? Or how can I get this machine running? Thank you very much.

    Kind regards.

    Markus

    Let me start by asking if SuSE 10 still supported by Novell? :)

    I don't think LIS removed support for a distro if it got EOL, though I haven't followed up the project recently.

    Either way, you can find the old code here - https://github.com/LIS/lis-next

     and check the branches, the old releases can be installed directly from there.

    Another way to get network is to use a legacy adapter on the VM, of course that will not give you the best network performance and the good features...

    First thank you very much for your reply. 

    But how can I use the legacy Adapter on the VM? I don't know what kind of network device I have to choose in the vm or how I have to install the legacy device.

    Thank you very much

    Until now I've got the network working. I've found, that I had to change my network cards and than the vm has detect them. Also the X-Server is working but the mouse does not work. How can I get the mouse running?

    Thank you very much.

    Kind Regards.

    mouse input requires the hid_hyperv module, which is in LIS drivers.

    Otherwise, you are better off with using a VNC connection really, instead of using the vm console directly.
