First one is the remote ssh problem already brought up. I also decided to benchmark a VM with 2d accel enabled vs one with it off. The VM was is running XP SP3 with 128 MB allocated to the emulated video card. The benchmark program is 2dbench from tom's hardware.

I do the same thing in reverse; I occasionally boot my FreeBSD partition under Virtualbox on Windows. Take a look at the raw disk support: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk You can give your guest full r/w access to your hard drive (a bit tricky since you need to make sure you never mount the same filesystems on both guest and host), or only let the guest see specific fdisk partitions. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com From owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 25 07:06:22 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 045071065672 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 07:06:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from tedm@mittelstaedt.us) Received: from mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com (mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [65.75.192.90]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 83E598FC13 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 07:06:21 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [192.168.1.64] (nat-rtr.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [65.75.197.130]) by mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id o9P76JNG042350 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 00:06:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tedm@mittelstaedt.us) Message-ID: <4CC52C71.2070408@mittelstaedt.us> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 00:06:25 -0700 From: Ted Mittelstaedt User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101013 Thunderbird/3.1.5 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org References: <4CC48870.80705@freebsd.org> In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.2.2 (mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [65.75.192.90]); Mon, 25 Oct 2010 00:06:20 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: question about virtualbox and windows.

I've done it and there is absolutely no change. In fact, I am not surprised. It was unreasonable to accuse portmaster which works fine for all ports. Why should it fail only for the linux ports? I cannot find out why the linux_base-f10 files are not installed in the linuxbase (/compat/linux). The typescript says: ===> Patching for linux_base-f10-10_3 ===> Configuring for linux_base-f10-10_3 ===> Building for linux_base-f10-10_3 ===> Installing for linux_base-f10-10_3 ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if emulators/linux_base-f10 already installed 274736 blocks +++ Some programs may need linprocfs, please add it to /etc/fstab! +++ Running linux ldconfig... This software is based in part on the work of the FreeType Team. See . Installation of the Linux base system is finished. The Linux kernel mode, which must be enabled for Linux binaries to run, is now enabled. Linux mode can be enabled permanently with the linux_enable variable of rc.conf(5). NOTHING has been installed in /compat/linux in spite of the USE_LINUX_PREFIX=yes line in Makefile. No wonder that the system gets broken. This time I've succeeded in repairing it - more or less - without reinstalling _all_ ports. As I said earlier, nothing in the typescript indicates that something went wrong. Testing the LINUXBASE variable is also alright: me@pollux:/<3>linux_base-f10 # make clean ===> Cleaning for linux_base-f10-10_3 me@pollux:/<3>linux_base-f10 # make -V LINUXBASE /compat/linux me@pollux:/<3>linux_base-f10 # For the next (fourth) experiment I would like to run "make install WITH_DEBUG=yes" . Is that okay or is there a better way?

If the install of the port finished without error, then it must have installed the files _somewhere_. Or they got removed again immediately after installation (the mtime on the /compat/linux directory should reveal that). What's the output of the following command? $ pkg_info -p linux_base-f10-10_3 Also, this command should list all files belonging to the port with full paths: $ pkg_info -L linux_base-f10-10_3 > For the next (fourth) experiment I would like to run > "make install WITH_DEBUG=yes" . > > Is that okay or is there a better way? Something worth to try: # MAKEFLAGS="-d l" make install (That's a lower-case letter "L", not the digit one.) It will make the installation more verbose so you can see all the actual commands that are executed. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
