qemu

Having toyed around for a while in #QEMU #VM boxes with #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD as well. I found that #gpart in FreeBSD is intuitive and easy to use for disk partition manipulation, followed by gpt in NetBSD. For me, powerful and flexible as fdisk is, it has always been mysteriously difficult and fighting.

FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p3 on ARM64 in QEMU:

― SDDM, pictured, is barely usable.

After login to Plasma (X11), resolution is limited to 800 x 600.

How can I avoid the issue with SDDM?

Host: Kubuntu 25.10, Virtual Machine Manager with Ramfb for video. Guest: non-base packages from the latest repos.

Not reproducible with FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT on ARM64 in QEMU on the same host.

#FreeBSD #ARM64 #aarch64 #QEMU #SDDM

#Linux #FreeBSD #KDE #QEMU #KVM
FreeBSD with KDE 6 running in QEMU/KVM Virtual Machine,with Firefox visit Wikipedia.
There's a steep learning curve with FreeBSD.

Finishing the upgrade from #FreeBSD 15.0 to 15.1-RELEASE on my #QEMU VM, all is fast and simple as always, no surprise, no fear (thanks to #ZFS). Upgrding the baremetal system on my laptop next!

Any #Plan9 or #9front expert on fedi? I heard a lot about it and few days ago when I spotted a new release of the 9front and there was #qcow2 #QEMU images, I started to look at it. However I never get the #rio #GUI session to work. I am starting the #VM by:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine q35 -enable-kvm \
-m 2g -cpu host \
-vga std \
-drive "media=disk,if=virtio,file=$HOME/Downloads/9front-11952.amd64.qcow2" \
-netdev user,id=vioif0,hostfwd=tcp::5699-:22 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vioif0 \
-no-reboot \
-daemonize

my host system is #Debian #Linux running on #X11. The error message after login with glenda was not very informative though:

hjfs: fs is /dev/sd00/fs

init: starting /bin/rc
bind: #i: no frame buffer
rio: cannot open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: file does not exist: '/dev/draw'
init: rc exit status: rc 217: rio 326: display open
init: starting /bin/rc

QEMU-KVM虛擬機跑MacOS 26,MacOS 27以後的版本就沒辦法這樣做了.
