Hello everyone,
Following the FreeBSD Handbook, I tried to install Wayland Wayfire on FreeBSD 13.2, acting as a guest on VMWare, Windows 11. I did not succeed. I am not yet erudite enough to understand the error messages returned to me.
I made 2 screenshots of the error messages: 01.png and...
Hi everyone,
I just tried to install Freebsd-13.2 on Fusion 13, using this guide: https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot. I use the UEFI Boot option and afterwards I rebooted the VM and it tries to boot over the network. I though I messed up the bootcode partition or zfs pools, so I...
I installed FreeBSD 13.1 on VMware ESXi 6.7. Then I installed Xfce. The problem is that I can't move the cursor. The mouse buttons and mouse wheel are working.
I am running FreeBSD 12.3 on VMWare 16.2. I have the latest versions of Xorg and XFCE installed. I want this machine to run XFCE as root since it serving any purpose other than development. To that end, I created the .xinitrc file:
exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4
And in order to make it run at...
Hello, anyone knows Freebsd 13 is working on vmware esxi 6.5?
I have problem when installing, at partitioning i check Auto UFS (as always bsd 11, bsd 12) then GPT GUID Partition table and then:
When i use ZFS then something is installing but after reboot says there is no system 😥
Vmware...
Hello!
I would to use copy-paste from host to FreeBsd 13.0 (guest), I think i should use vm-tools.
According to this article, it's just required to run: pkg install open-vm-tools as root.
After installed the vm-tools, nothing has changed (i tried also to reboot FreeBSD).
I'm running FreeBSD...

All I want is getting a file on my vm to my computer. How much it can be hard?

Notes:
I already installed open-vm-tools by:
pkg install open-vm-tools

Hi,
So I've got FreeBSD with configured iSCSI server which is serving ZFS volumes. The goal is to install some version of ESXi on this ZFS volume and then boot another machine from it using iPXE. It is booletproof soulltion - it is working for years on older versions of FreeBSD. I've got two...
Hello.
I'm seeing quite a lot of UNMAP failed messages on our FreeBSD servers ever since we migrated from VMFS5 to VMFS6 datastores on our vSphere cluster. Happens on both thin and thick provisioned disks.
There have been instances where servers just stopped responding after a couple of failed...
I don't have any new computer for FreeBSD. So I use virtual machine on Windows 10. The problem is that the latest virtualbox-ose-additions is for Virtualbox 5.x and guest additions for vmware is discontinued, so vmware says that I should use open vm tools. However, it only supports Freebsd 11...
My question is going to have some prelude because any step of those leading to the final situation could be important.
We're using bareos with vmware plugin to backup our VMs from ESXi hosts. Not so long ago we totally lost a data center and I got a weird backup at my hands. Because the vCenter...
Hello,
I have installed release FreeBSD 12.1 on vmware but I can't update or install app on my FreeBSD 12. It show me permission denied.
Please help me
Hello FreeBSD community,
I like to run FreeBSD 12.1 on VMware Fusion on a Mac Mini. The install itself is pretty easy to follow. During the install process I choose a german keyboard layout. When the installation process is finished, and I log in to e.g. XFCE the keyboard layout does not work...
Hello, I am new to FreeBSD. I managed to install FBSD with Xfce and it works, except the mouse does not (I can see the cursor in the middle of the screen, but I cannot move it). I can open the terminal with ctrl + alt + T. I would appreciate if someone could help me.
In the near future I may have a requirement to provide storage for a couple of VMWare servers that are currently running NFS off an ageing Netapp appliance. As good as the Netapp probably is, the chance of it going wrong worries me as I don't really have a clue what I'm doing with it, and it...
Hello,
Recently I have migrated 2 firewalls in CARP setup from OpenBSD to FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE on vmware VMs (ESXi 6.5) with E1000 interfaces. Both hosts are with 10Gbit interfaces connected to on single 10Gbit switch.
The CARP setup is working fine during the day but during the night I got...
Hello, I have a physical FreeBSD server I installed using ZFS on root. To ease maintenance I'd like to move it into a virtual machine (VMware ESXi), but since virtualizing ZFS is not recommended, I would like to convert it to UFS. Here's my plan so far, can anyone confirm whether I am on the...
Hello,
I've been trying to get a USB drive passed through to a FreeBSD 11.2 VM, but it doesn't work. The kernel logs show a USB SHORT_XFER error that it ignores the device.
The same pass-through configuration works fine on a Debian VM and a Windows 10 VM. I found a post that someone inserted a...
I thought I'd try a shortcut, rather than build from scratch, so I downloaded, unpacked and made some guesses at (virtual) hardware for the image from https://www.freebsd.org/where.html for vmware.
Booted up, logged in, network is working, but I'm wondering if there is a guide of any kind...
