Re: Question about bhyve

[Jason Barbier]

yep your using RDP wrong. So on the windows vm enable remote desktop, then RDP 
directly to the guest, not to the guest console.

Hi Marcelo/others,

Thanks for the tip, but it is a fairly bland one. I installed 
libhyve-remote. But then what ? How do I use it ? Should I use TigerVNC 
as it is and expect clipboard sharing to work this time around ?

Or should I use some other VNC client ?

ports/devel/libhyve-remote does not even have a pkg-plist, and nothing 
in the Makefile that could tip the user on how to use libhyve.

Thanks & Regards,
Manish Jain

Hi Jason/others,

I am really struggling in my RDP essay. I installed remmina twice over: 
once from github and from ports. But when I ask remmina to connect to 
:3350, I either get nothing at all or a forever-lasting
message "Connecting To ...", or a curt dump with "Illegal instruction".

Pretty much the same behaviour with rdesktop.

Am I doing something basically wrong ? Note that bhyve is being 
instructed to send its output to port 3350.

When I use TigerVNC@5900, everything works in a flash - except clipboard 
sharing.

I could not have imagined that setting up RDP is such a 
calorie-consumer. There does not even seem like a FreeBSD RDP usage doc 
on the web.

Can someone kindly provide some tips ?


Thanks & Regards,
Manish Jain

Thanks for replying.

I am actually using TigerVNC - it works very well on my box, except that
clipboard sharing does not work. I am willing to try something else
though, if shared clipboard could work.

Since a few replies, including yours, suggest using RDP, I will first 
try that.

Can someone please give a on-line explanation how this port is to be
used – not for end users as far as I understand the description.
The sentence above confuses me even more, because of the "libvncserver"!

I haven't found time to look into it, but always wondered if it replaces 
bhyve-vnc-_server_ (so one needs to re-compile bhyve(8) from base after 
installing that port) or if it is a VNC client, lending X naming convensions 
where the client - which is really the server - is correctly named "server".

AFAIK VNC is different, it's just a X11 client – correct me if I'm wrong.

But since you suggest this as a solution to a end-user-task problem, a
developer library isn't probably what it is!?!

Thanks,

-harry

If you are using an RDP client to your Win 10 instance, then I think you'll
have better luck with achieving this.

Hi,

You can give a try using devel/libhyve-remote, it is a VNC server based on
libvncserver, clipboard works there.

Re: Question about bhyve

[Jason Barbier]

Tight can do it but its a pain to get it set up right in X windows. It may be 
better to install rdesktop or freerdp/remmina and use RDP, it will sync a bit 
better with windows and is a bit more reliable in my experience

I believe if you used TightVNC server on the windows box and the likewise
client on freebsd you can sync clipboards over it

I'm not sure if bhyve reports the current backing file size as the 
virtual block device size after it's been increased. But if it does, 
this may be useful ...

How large can they be?


if you're using virtio_blk there should be no limit.


I may have a use-case where I would need to have images in the size
oftens of terabytes.

Or is there a way to delegate a ZFS (or a pool) to a bhyve guest?


this is sort of what zvol does, noting, the zfs code runs in the parent.
