qemu

Hi, I heard about an initiative sponsored by google, some months ago. What is its state of progress ? Do you know ?

I've tried FreeBSD on QEMU several times at this point, and in none of them was I ever able to get the graphics to work under my VirtIO VGA/GPU device. I recompiled the kernel (compiled virtio_gpu both as a module and as a built-in) and everything, but no luck. Even checked my QEMU launch script...

Just sharing some first impressions and testing of this work: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU As far as I understand, the work is nearing completion and the more people test it, the more chances there are to get it into the upstream. If my memory...

Qemu is not allowing me to boot into my configuration. I am following the guide (fbsd qemu virt hb ). doas qemu \ ──(Sat,Sep06)─┘ -monitor none \ -cpu qemu64 \ -vga std \ -m 4096 \ -smp 4 \ -cdrom ISO/deb-arm.iso \ -boot order=cd,menu=on \...

Can a kind soul please explain the message: vmware gfx protocol is only supported on x86-compatible architectures I tried to build on FreeBSD 14.3 (32 Bit) guest running in qemu (32 Bit) on a Windows 10 (32 Bit) host which I regard as x86-compatible architecture.

On a qemu-kvm hypervisor with a hyperthreaded CPU, does matching the VM's core/thread CPU topology to the host's CPU core/thread topology then pinning of the thread pairs improve performance? Basically using sysctl -n kern.sched.topology_spec, I noticed that using host-passthrough caused the...

I've been trying to get a gui running for FreeBSD with QEMU, to no avail. I've asked in the WM forums and the solutions I've been offered from the helpful people there sadly did not work for me, so I'm wondering if it's an issue with QEMU. answers for either X or wayland would be helpful, i've...

I'm trying to install FreeBSD into a VM but it's really small and I can figure out how to change its resolution (I know I can fullscreen it but that won't help). I couldn't find anything in the handbook about this, only Virtual Box and VMWare which I don't use. This wouldn't normally be a...

Hello all, I have been trying to get xorg display server to work on my freebsd 14, running on qemu (UTM.app), and with virtio_ramfb display attached to it. No matter what xorg configuration I apply, `xinit` either can not find the display or fails on "AddScreen" (using the scfb driver). I am...

Hello, I would like to showcase FreeBSD 14.0 aarch64 running on Termux, with XFCE4 too. How did I do this? It is pretty simple. With QEMU, then I start xfce4 session and load QEMU.

Hi there! I am currently quite confused. I try get up qemu-guest-agent on a fresh installed FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE, but it always fails with the following error message: error opening channel '/dev/vtcon/org.qemu.guest_agent.0': No such file or directory I've followed this guide for setting it...

Hey folks, I got a virtual machine of FreeBSD 14 release working on qemu , it has bios , got X server running (had a few problems setting it up) but i can't get the mouse cursor working on it , i am on a laptop if this info matters. Thanks and regards.

As far as I know, virtualization tools such as qemu, virtual box are unfortunately not compatible with Wayland compositor. I don't want to use X11.

Recently installed FB 13.2 on an Intel Nuc10i5. Despite all the warnings not to expect UEFI boot to work, I found evidence of some recent work which lead me to expect it to work. It works. Next, I installed FB 13.2 as a guest, in HVM mode. I am running swaywm in dom0. Love it! I am now...

Hi Forum, i tried the last days to bring up a mips installation of freebsd in qemu. I went with different receipes, but none of them worked. I followed the steps here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/QemuRecipes#mips I also tried different archs like mips64, setting up an image with qemu-image and...

I used virt-manager to make a FreeBSD VM inside Arch Linux. It used the i440FX chipset and BIOS (not UEFI). I gave it one processor and 2GB of RAM which is above the minimum requirements. Other than that, I used the default settings that virt-manager uses for FreeBSD machines. Booting worked...

Hello all, I am trying to use QEMU to emulate a x86_64 machine to run OpenBSD 6.9 inside FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE with two tap interfaces. Hardware is an Intel Xeon E5450, 8GB DDR2, SATA SSD. This CPU doesn't have EPT support so I can't use bhyve and I don't want to use VirtualBox. I would like, if...

Hello. it's again me :) I would like to configure correctly the network interface of qemu because I want to grab the connection to internet while I'm installing freebsd 13 for arm64 on my jetson nano. I tried using several methods,but none worked,so I don't know what could be the problem and Im...

Hello to everyone. It's again me. I'm trying to understand what are the statement that I should put into the right configuration files to disable totally the acpi,since it seems that it is needed to boot the cdrom with freebsd with qemu and kvm. (for more informations about this,give a look at...

Hello. I'm trying to emulate FreeBSD for arm64 on my Jetson nano (arm64) using qemu and kvm. This is the script that I'm using : tunctl -t tap0 ifconfig tap0 up brctl addif virbr0 tap0 /opt/qemu-5.2.0/build/aarch64-softmmu/./qemu-system-aarch64 -m 2048M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt --enable-kvm \...
