Did anyone notice this behavior? What is the problem? Yeah, I've seen it and it's a real pain. It doesn't matter if one is local or remote, if you type fast enough, it happens locally as well. I seem to remember there may be a repeat rate that needs to be set but my workaround is to not use the graphical client. It doesn't matter if one uses VNC or RDP or whatever. It happens locally if one types fast enough. Remotely, (ssh into host then exporting X over a fast ssh connection) it has made installing an ubuntu guest on a freebsd host impossible. Exporting an xterm over the same connection and keyboard repeat is normal. The effect from what I've read is not unique to freebsd hosts. -- John ___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Let's be clear on one thing we *DO NOT* recommend petitecloud be used with
windows guests (currently) because the only way to run them is on qemu
which, until some kind sole fixes KQEMU, runs so slow it unusable (2 hrs to
run bsdinstall on a minimal install list)... the other option is vbox but I
simply can't figure out how to run it headless (from a boot script
specifically) this combined with the fact that unclear from Oracle's
documentation if such a mode is possible [I have figured out how to script
but there seems no easy way to run without a GUI {a very early version of
petitecloud used this as a possible front end but we decided against due to
Xorg not being universal})]... so it seems that petitecloud will just have
to wait for either of the two items to be sorted out... therefore I will
repeat an offer to give $50 anyone who can show/help us solve the above two
problems and be listed as a petitecloud contributor

Last summer when I was attempting to do a ground up install of open stack (something that later provided impossible due to outright errors and missing information in the openstack manuals and that and the testing requirements of an other project lead to petitecloud) I did so (at least for the first few attempts) use vbox and every time I tried to run a client headless after I installed it with -gui it refused to start (windows much more often linux but both did the same)... I was never able to get a full working fbsd boot-vbox boot-vm box sequence working automatically (I also knew a lot less about virtualization then so it might be just confused memory that makes me believe this is not possible)... either way if you can either send me the scripts or post them and I can intergrate them into petitecloud I will be asking about how to send you $50. -- Aryeh M.
