general/other Getting KDE or other GUI to install on FBSD running in a mac UTM VM

R

rcatyvr

I have been unable to find a video driver for FBSD 15 running in a UTM VM on an M4 iMac.
Info CPU: Apple M4 (10) @ 4.46 GHz
GPU: Apple M4 (10) @ 1.47 GHz [Integrated]

I am interest if any one has success install KDE or XFCS for FBSD on a similar platform.

I have been trying this and have created scores of VMs via the UTM app from Apple.

I know there is a script by afix on gethub.com, but without a GUI, I can not down load that script in the UTM vm to run it.

I have also tried to use the install-desktop on FBSD 16 but the directory it wants to use is occupied and immutable

There is none.

Can you configure UTM to UEFI boot the VM? Then you can use the scfb(4) Xorg driver, not ideal but it'll work.

fetch(1), curl(1), wget(1). Download it on your Mac, scp(1) (MacOS should have it) it to the VM. There's more than one way to download a file and get it onto the VM.

I have tried alll of these methods as well as using terminal based web browsers. The problems are that the fetch apps download the web page, not the raw file and the browsers will not show the raw file either.

It's late and my brain is tired. The file that I am trying to download into my FBSD VM is https://gitlab.com/alfix/kde-installer-dialogs/-/raw/main/desktop

Any hints on how to get this to work, in my set up [mac m4 UTM 7.4.1.5 FBSD 16
