Slightly offtopic:

Is anyone running freebsd in virtualbox successfully? Whenever I try to compile a kernel I get an error like this:
http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=8207

I was able to get i386 6.3 running in VirtualBox under Ubuntu 8.10 without any issues.

Had the same issues as mentioned in the post with 7.0 and AMD64 versions. Seems like a lost cause at this point.

as for running vb on top of a 7-stable amd64 and then running some linux for amd64 as guests, is it possible ?

I want to run Folding@Home on amd64 linux, but I'd like to have my desktop on FreeBSD AMD64 :)

I tried qemu once, but no luck. smp is just for testing, as it makes appear two cpu's but in the real machine they end up using just once cpu. and it was way too slow for F@H.

well, linuxlator64 is the only way now ... I'll look for it.

My understanding has been that VB compiles on FreeBSD (after some diddles) but that the kernel portion is still missing. I've not seen anything to change that opinion, but I would *love* to learn otherwise. The interface just is not that interesting without being able actually to run a VM.

When I installed FreeBSD I remember seeing opensolaris.ko
Is this opensolaris kernel?
Two Sun products that don't work together?
On the other hand, take FreeBSD, the only major difference is the kernel, so porting VirtualBox to FreeBSD should be a picnic compared to Mac OS X.
Which means they haven't yet.

They had on the VB download page FreeBSD in the works last year. Now I see OpenSolaris and no FreeBSD to come so I assumed it had arived.

FreeBSD is *not* a Sun product. Yes, the early SunOS was BSD, but thereafter Solaris became a SysVR4 product. So FreeBSD and Solaris share a common ancestor, but have diverged significantly.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I don't use either. Still, the kernel is not a kernel module.

sossego

March 30th, 2009, 18:26

There is only a partial version for x86 while amd64 remains a platform to be ported to on FreeBSD.
You can't build any version later than 2.0.0 because they need kBuild>1.4.x and that is the only patched version for FreeBSD.
Sun could use some help and could try openly asking the BSD community on forums, blogs,and other resources again
instead of waiting for volunteers. The kBuild above was patched not because they asked but because one BSD member asked another BSD member about the problem.
Like KVM, kqemu, and Xen, it is still a front end to qemu. I wish it did have full qemu functionality built in, that would be nice.
Another problem is that it requires 32bit libraries to work. Don't believe me? Try installing it on any 64bit Windows or Linux box without ia32libs/32bit libs.
It hasn't been completely ported to Windows- you need mingw to build, qt3/4 libs, alsa, pulse, etc. None of these are available as exe files AFAIK.
Better put VirtualBox in the catagory with Xen, KVM, and VirtualIron- a work to port FreeBSD to in the future.
If you think about it, the only "true" virtualization software that allows you to directly use hardware are live images. You can even execute binaries from the host system by simply mounting in most cases.

I'm not a kernel hacker so you're more than welcome to join me in trying to port.

They aren't "front-ends" to QEmu. Not even close. They use bits of QEmu to provide certain hardware bits (mainly related to network and block I/O), to simplify hardware-assisted virtualisation. But that's it, and only on x86/amd64.

KVM has been (or will be shortly) integrated into QEmu, though, as "a qemu accelerator" module similar to kqemu.

Front-ends to QEmu would be things like qemu-launcher, which just provide a nice GUI or management interface to the complete QEmu package, providing access to all the weird and wonderful things that QEmu can emulated.

sossego

March 30th, 2009, 20:18

Poor choice of words on my part but none of them work without qemu.
I believe the common phrase in all of them is somewhat of "a modified form of qemu." Each one also falls back on qemu if the system/cpu doesn't have the proper flags.
KVM has already been active in Linux.

I personally use aqemu (emulators/aqemu). Except for e1000 missing in the UI due to how it detects whether qemu supports it or not, it works quite well.

It doesn't compile for me on 7-STABLE (essentially 7.2-R) i386.

I installed the various required programs listed on the VBox site, changed a couple of the INC locations, and did the Bash symlink. ./configure works fine, but the compile fails for either no flags or the ones in the amd64 guide. The latter fails with the inability to create a bunch of directories.

I can give more information, but I'm done for the night.

Well, it compiled fine on i386 7-STABLE. I got partway through an installation of W2K server before the mouse capture override failed. Subsequently the loading vbox kernel module has locked the computer solid, even through it worked the first time. I've no idea why.

The screens did all come up, and I did get partway through the installation, so there definitely is hope, though things seem a bit raw right now.

The permissions are funky too. If you try it, it sets the VM up in /root (since you have to run it as su right now). I don't have much space allocated to /, so that filled up. There is an option to change the default location, which I did subsequently. Be aware of that.

Gusi

May 8th, 2009, 10:17

It's compiling now. There is an ominous warning in the open tasks (since I'm on 7-STABLE):

Open tasks:

1. Fix kernel crashes on 7.2-RELEASE.
2. Code cleanup.
3. Fix errors on AMD64.
4. Fix user/permission problems.

I'd add :

Fix kernel crashes on 8.0-CURRENT
Vbox doesn't detect the module the second time
it is launched in 8.0-CURRENT (the first time seems to detect it)
No graphical display in 8.0-current. The screen remains grey.

I'm starting to see in the code why 2 is happening (didn't had much time). Don't know where to start for item number 3, any ideas ?

DrJ

May 8th, 2009, 23:45

The Makefile also does not add the vboxusers group (or whatever it is called). The suggestion in the description to add regular users to the vbox group therefore fails, and vbox must be run as root.

This is a detail, but usually su commands are written with a "$" prompt to distinguish it from those that a regular user can issue (as "%"). So the -description file should be revised.

I should add that subsequent attempts to load the kernel module were after reboots, so the system should have been clean. Practically that was the only way after the hard lockup.

vermaden

This is a detail, but usually su commands are written with a "$" prompt to distinguish it from those that a regular user can issue (as "%").

$ and % are both prompts of normal user, bash/sh and csh/zsh respectively, # is used for root prompt.

Hey folks, freebsd can run many linux software with the linux ABI. I mean if the problem is about a binary not available for FreeBSD you can give it a try. Trying to emulate a whole computer, then i guess we are in a problem for the moment. VB seems to me a good way. It is not very fast but will do the trick.

sossego

May 15th, 2009, 08:16

VirtualBox is dependent upon ia32 libs and vm86 functions.
AMD64 for FreeBSD would have to run both.
Be aware that any pure 64bit Linux system is unable to run VirtualBox. What does this tell you about it running on FreeBSD?

The VM is looking for Linux kernel hooks/mods/etc.

The linux binary does not work because you must be able to use the actual kernel and make the vm calls natively. Sorry, but only one kernel at a time.

DrJ

May 15th, 2009, 16:51

So what is the status of the port? It does not seem to be discussed on the lists.

sossego

May 16th, 2009, 05:07

The port status is non-existent. You are welcome to start it.
What Sun/VBox wants are FreeBSD hackers to write the program to access the kernel.
The build has not yet been optimized.
If you ask Sun for help with FreeBSD, you won't get it.
So, you're kind of on your own.

You can link a folder to root from the initial user account or you can build and run from within the folder itself.

DrJ

May 16th, 2009, 06:14

The port status is non-existent.

Well, not really. After I posted here, I found a thread that is calling for testing on -emulation. It is an active thread.

I'm getting my kernel and VBox sources in sync. More later.

DrJ, it is non-existent.
You can always have it officially added.

I saw the other links.
It doesn't work on amd64 yet.
Et cetera, et al.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=virtualbox&stype=all

Proof above that I am right.

alie,

you need to install it from within a folder, then create an folder to link to for root, then run it according to basic qemu options.

If you want to test it out on a virtual machine. Yes, a build upon a build then try qemu without kqemu.
Type 'echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' as root.

Build and run the freebsd image. Load aio without kqemu or use -no-kqemu.

Build your vm with a root partition of 4G to ensure the build of a functional vm within the vm.

Copy the patches and build to another image on the vm.
Since it is qemu based, you should be able to change the vm image to an ISO image. You should be able to burn the image and mount it later.

Want optional help? Ask one of the freebsd hackers.

DrJ

May 16th, 2009, 19:34

Please read my post again. I said that there is a discussion about VBox on the -emulation list. There you will find a call for testing the VirtualBox port. There is a link provided on that list for the port.

No, it is not in the ports tree yet, but there *is* a port. Not in its final form, but it does exist.

manolis@

May 19th, 2009, 23:53

FWIW, I've built the port mentioned here:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2009-May/006026.html

(Seems they also got an updated version now)

using ports-mgmt/tinderbox on a 7.2-RELEASE.

Installed the packages on a 7.2-RELEASE machine. Few things to note:

- It failed to install the kernel module into /boot/modules. I copied it manually (it was present in the package tarball but would not get copied, maybe a problem with the install script?)
- Need to mount /proc per instructions
- The kernel module may cause a panic if kldunload'ed

Other than that it works fine. I've got a complete set of packages (208 including all dependencies) and can upload them if anyone wishes to try.

Here is a screenshot of it running XP:

May 20th, 2009, 00:07

I have the kernel module located in the right place; maybe that was fixed in version 2 (which I installed).

I still have issues with the kernel module causing a hard lock when it is loaded. It is really odd: if I load it right after VBox is installed, then it loads fine, and VBox is stable. If there was a reboot inbetween, then it has locked on me 7 out of 8 tries. Just odd.

Were you able to load the Guest Additions? I am limited to 800x600, 16 bit resolution. That is a very severe limitation.

There have been some issues with AMD64 that the devs are trying to straighten out. There was a new VBox version posted on -emulation (there is a link on the thread); it is up to version 3 if you count the call for testing as version 1.

Have you tried that one?

Yes. The guest additions are not included in the package and fail to download if you select them from the menu. But you can download them manually from here:

http://dlc.sun.com/virtualbox/2.2.2/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.2.2.iso

Just rename the file To VBoxGuestAdditions.iso and move it to /usr/local/lib/virtualbox so the GUI can find it.

Correct, because the port is based on the Open Source Edition (OSE), which doesn't support SATA-controller.

Because of the last sentence in the mentioned page:Also, this allows you to connect more than three virtual hard disks to the machine.
I assume it's the same issue for SCSI-controllers, as this would allow you to use more disks.

Hopefully SUN will release soon a FreeBSD binary version.

Hi, I'm using VirtualBox on 8.0-amd64. It's working great. I'm trying to build a test environment for doing automated installs. I've setup two VMs, one with two interfaces to be the install server and the other to be the test installed machine.

On the install server, the first interface is on the normal LAN via bridged mode. The second interface is using the "Internal network" setting.

On the test install machine, it's just on the "Internal network". I've done a manual install in it, and it's working fine and can talk to the install server via the internal network interface.

Yet, when I boot this VM and select the LAN boot option, it immediately fails. tcpdump inside the install server (the other machine on the internal network) shows no packets coming from the test VM. So it seems that although VirtualBox claims to support LAN boot, it can't really do it. Anyone else tried this or have any experience with it?

Thanks for any help.

Update: Using one of the non-Intel NICs gets me further. It DHCPs, tftp downloads the pxeboot file, but then VirtualBox crashes. Perhaps the newer version of VirtualBox would work better?

Cool. It's not just me, and it's not just amd64 which was what I was beginning to suspect. Strike that thought, which leaves us back at the beginning...

@hitchup / @trev

Have You been trying to update Ports tree?

If that does not help, I would submit a BUG: http://freebsd.org/send-pr.html

Yes - it is updated every night.

I would have done that except that noone else (apart from hitchup above) seems to have ever had the problem. As I mentioned, I've had the issue for months.

Success!

===> Installing ldconfig configuration file
===> Registering installation for virtualbox-3.0.51.r22902_3

The trick was to delete the virtualbox directory from /usr/ports and then re-run csup to re-fetch it. "make clean" was obviously not enough.

make clean only cleans out working files from compilation. It seems that your port info + patches weren't up to date, now the question is why the standard update process didn't fetch new port information, and csup did it.

Hi, people.
I've istalled VirtualBox, but faced with one issue. VBoxManage has not '--audio pulse' option.
When I made port I checked option 'With pulse audio', but it had not got any effect.
How to add 'pulse' support?

Wow...I finally managed to get VirtualBox built and running...and I've gotta say, this is like a dream come true. :) For what I need a vm for, this surpasses vmware by about ten thousand miles. While it was certainly not easy to get all the dependencies built for it (curse you dbus-qt4 and phonon), I can now look back on the experience and laugh...I learned a lot more about FreeBSD and the Ports Collection doing this.
