Re: qemu-devel usage

However, new OS. :) From my original setup files for qemu, I had used the -enable-kvm and -cpu host flags (see 2 below). Qemu on BSD just didn't want to accept host as a cpu option. The reference did point out how the flag worked, something I didn't realize. However, it would be really good to have the host flag to pass along the cpu accelerators to the VM without having to call them individually. Is anyone working on this? Just to amend this observation...I wouldn't worry about this ATM. -cpu host hides a lot of details about settings in qemu. When moving over to another VM tool, those hidden settings/unknown defaults become painful to manage. Is the -enable-kvm flag mentioned earlier still required here? A little bit of history: qemu started as jit-only (software emulation), then came kqemu, then kqemu was replaced by kvm. However, the FreeBSD kvm kernel bits port was never finished so recent qemu versions (qemu-devel, qemu-sbruno) are stuck with jit again which means for x86-on-x86 virtualization you're better off with bhyve or vbox, they're simply faster, I've since managed to convert images over to vdi's. Tweaking the settings for host params was...amusing?...entertaining?...challenging?...painful! (see comment above). Even with the links you gave to the handbook, I ended up on the Oracle site to learn there was a gui that could be used to manage things. And here I was dreading the idea of text file setup's. The gui has some painful quirks but is usable. Learning what is a sane default can be a determent to a steep learning curve. And I'm shaking my head at the foolishness. You can call a file by name, but must clean by UUID. And VBox doesn't provide a UUID from name search mechanism. I ended up modifying my original images cleaning/backup script to pull the UUID from a VBoxManager call. Speaking of entertaining... The blurring and cross-usage of qemu, kqemu and KVM made searching difficult. But the little history you provided makes reading through search results suddenly more CLEARER! Thank you. The main use of the qemu ports on FreeBSD is for testing/emulating other than the host arch From the available ports - got it. Having used qemu on other OS's. I was hoping to just pickup and carry on with existing files. Lovely thought on my part. Not possible practically. The move to VBox was inevitable it appears. Overall, I have my Win7 and BSD emulations working in VBox. I'm good. Juergen. Thanks for the details and the response!

Cannot compile inkscape on 9.3/i386
Hello. As per subject, Inkscape will compile with clang, which will end with several Bad machine code. There is more than one report of this, but I was not able to find a solution. Strangely Freshports reports Fix the build on 9.x and 8.x. in a recent commit, but this does not seem to work for me. Is there any chance to use a newer clang (from ports) or gcc? How should I change the Makefile? I guess this is the line: USES= compiler:c++0x desktop-file-utils gettext gmake iconv \ But what should I put instead?

Suggestion on network backup
Hello. I'm looking for a centralized backup solution with the following requirements: _ server (FreeBSD) side storage and/or NAS storage; _ Windows and Mac client support; _ push model (meaning a client will initiate a backup when it is powered up/connected); _ ability to run script on the client (i.e. dump a database before starting the backup); _ good reporting (ideally I'd like to be notified of overall status and possibly when a client hasn't done a backup for a long time). I currently use Bacula, which I like a lot, but I don't really feel it's the right tool in this situation; while it has several nice features which are not useful here: _ it tends to hard to setup and manage when the number of clients grows; _ the director manages the schedule and AFAICT only works well for server clients, which are up and connected 24/7. So I saw BackupPC and BoxBackup are in the port tree... Anyone is using them and can reccomend any? Or has anyone tried them and can suggest to stay away? So far, from what I read I'm worried about the following aspects of BackupPC: _ for Windows client it either works via SMB (which I fear might miss something); _ or via rsync (needing Cygwin installed); _ locked files cannot be backup up!!!; _ claims support for Windows clients up to XP!!!. And with BoxBackup: _ encryption is mandatory; _ locked files cannot be backup up!!!; _ claims support for Windows clients up to XP!!!. Any other player in the arena? bye Thanks av. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I can simply unload it, and deal with it accordingly. FWIW I know from experience that the nvidia blob will refuse to load, if the linux ABI is not present/available. So it's safe to assume, that in your case , the linux ABI 1) is available 2) must have come from within your kernel I'm sure it's possible to query various aspects of linux available. maybe by/through /proc or /compat/linux/proc and surely by other means.
