pstef: Can I do something about it? E.g. should I create an account and do something? Should I test it?

pstef: If I can anyhow support this, let me know. And thank you so much for your awesome effort. <3

Good day. I have installed FreeBSD 14.2 as virtual machine as guest to a Debian Linux KVM/qemu host with VIRTIO graphics (I also tried QXL, which does not work, too). I can't get Xorg or Wayland with GDM or startx to work. It looks like it is a bug. Xorg uses modesetting graphics driver by default, but fails and the error message is can't find /dev/dri/card0. Has anyone suggestions, how to make Xorg or

Wayland on FreeBSD 14.2 work as KVM/qemu Linux guest? Thank you for any help.

I have choosen to emulate Q35 Intel board and it uses/emaulates EFI bios.

Aedil: virtio-vga or virtio-gpu-pci?

virtio-vga should work, virtio-gpu-pci will not work

xx: W

hat?

xx: I don't know exactly what virtio-vga is. I googled, but I am still unsure. How can I activate virtio-vga?

it's a qemu option, `-device virtio-vga` or `-device virtio-gpu-pci`

I don't know you you're starting your VM

xx: Thank you! I will query Google another time!

xx: I am using virt-manager. Do you know, where the setting is in virt-manager?

no idea, you said you're using kvm/qemu, I assumed directly

xx: Thank you. I search another time the WWW.

Aedil: this isn't the same but I had a freebsd guest on windows running in virtualbox and I had to switch the graphics controller to vboxsvga for x to work

td123: Thank you, but I am not using VirtualBox.

I can't find a solution for virt-manager.

what solution ?

The sync(8) man page says it utilizes the sync sync(2) system call and sync (2 )man page says that there is a bug that sync may return before buffers are completely flushed. Is this still a bug? Is there an alternative command since this would mean sync is completely unreliable.

pertho> looks like I need to create the jail with bastille, then: zfs create -o recordsize=16k -o mountpoint=/usr/local/bastille/jails/alcatraz/root/var/lib/mysql jails/bastille/jails/alcatraz/mysql_data <<< i always just have something like /usr/local/data/{dataset1,dataset2,etc}, and then nullfs mount that rw in the jail's fstab. your way is interesting. you just plop it in the jail's filesystem directly. neat

rtprio> service caddy restart is fast; caddy reload feels like it times out <<< out of curiosity, are you getting this behavior only on a VPS, or do you also experience this on a local/dedicated box?

mzar: See before posted at 13:38 CET.

mzar: See also the #FreeBSD channel @ IRCNet.

Aedil: I can't help, never run FreeBSD with X as a VM

mzar: Ok! Thanks! Maybe I can find help tomorrow.

armin: any of the following: 1. assess legibility of code and the manpage 2. apply the patch and test it 3. make a comment on the phab review 4. let me know how you prefer points 1 and 2 to be attributed to you (name, email, etc.)

Aedil: bhyve.npulse.net works for me. it's 14.x only but works great for Freebsd X11 setups

scoobybejesus: it's my bhyve vm; haven't tried it on hardware

scoobybejesus: yeah only thing is, have to zfs unmount it after stopping the jail if you want to delete the jail.

Ober: Looks nice, but I don't use Bhyve.

Hi. Is there a way to ask newsyslog not to create the log file?

For how I understand the manpage, the file should only be created if 'C' appears in the flags, so I would expect that not creating the file was the default behaviour.

This is not the case: my file keeps appearing, and the log producer will fail at opening it because of permissions.

The configuration line for newsyslog.conf is the following:

/var/log/lighttpd/*.log www:www 0640 7 1000 * GJ /var/run/lighttpd.pid

i didn't realize people still used lightty
