    I'm in for NetBSD if you want. Will PM.

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    Appreciate the resources! I have loaded up NetBSD and OpenBSD from this in addition to the existing FreeBSD. So I am looking for BSD experienced people that would like to test these two new images out. I am offering a 4GB Intel KVM VPS in any of the locations in exchange for this beta testing. Interested people can PM me, just need a few. Keep in mind these servers need to stay on BSD or else they will be revoked. Don't grab one and then just switch it over to Windows in a few weeks.

    I’ve been running FreeBSD in your Arizona location for a couple months. Happy to jump into the discussion with the new testing group.

    As Autumn is truly established here, I wish I was back there (if only for the climate). ;)

    Today I am in Sonora, MX, just below Arizona. So, @linveo, AZ would be a great location for me as well.

    Here, it's still a little early for Fall, it's still over 100 degrees F every day, and super humid. But, last night was a little cooler than usual and also dry for a few hours. Soon, the annual arrival of many people from the northern US and Canada will happen. They will pass the Winter here, enjoying the warm weather, walking around in shorts when their friends back home are bundled up and slogging through the snow.

    Have you ever run Plan 9 from Bell Labs? Running Plan 9 might be a fun summer project for you.

    Freebsd is pretty awesome. Been working on lots of projects that use it over the last few years. It somehow feels like a thing thats growing.

    I'll second that. :+1:
    Though I'll give FreeBSD a whirl (first), given the comments above.

    @linveo I decided to try reinstalling with FreeBSD 14.1, which seemed to work.

    What do I do next, now that I seem to be logged in? :)

    Thanks @linveo! <3

    @Crab I knew you were gonna be really happy to see me on Free (again!) instead of Net! :)

    @Crab @FrankCastle Well, I usually don't bother with X on VPSes and dedicated servers since I'm mostly happy with command line terminal. But, my Chromebook has a Spice App that I want to try sometime.

    I asked Google about Spice on FreeBSD and was sent to https://freebsdsoftware.org/devel/libspice-server.html which says,

    Libspice-server
    Jul 20, 2023

    Implements the server side of the SPICE protocol
    The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which allows you to view a computing ‘desktop’ environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.

    This package contains the run-time libraries for any application that wishes to be a SPICE server

    What's the best way to run X on a FreeBSD VPS and have cut and paste (so, not VNC, which doesn't have cut and paste)?

    What do you guys like for a window manager / desktop?

    And, by the way, what's freebsdsoftware.org all about? It doesn't seem to have an About page. Apparently it's independent of FreeBSD itself a/k/a the FreeBSD Foundation?

    Haha! Thanks! Here we go again! :)

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    I did some digging on this. It looks like I put in the wrong name for the network device that NetBSD is expecting. I also updated the one for OpenBSD as well. These templates should be able to get internet connectivity now.

    Just for learning sake, OpenBSD uses viona0 for the virtio based interface. NetBSD uses vioif0. FreeBSD uses vtnet0.

    This is weird, same thing when trying to boot the NetBSD 10 installer image - and none of the boot flags seem to help, it just reboots immediately after loading the kernel.

    Yes I see the same problem myself and OpenBSD is also failing to boot after fresh installation from the template. It is stuck at "Switching console to com0"

    @linveo you might want to check these out. FreeBSD templates do seem to work normally.

    Thanks again for the opportunity to try these out!

    I did FreeBSD 13.2 template -> upgrade to 13.3, 14.0 template -> upgrade 14.1 and 14.1 template, seems to work nice and smooth.

  • Looks like I chose the easy option, guys - phew!

  • Just as a little experiment, I thought I'd give Haiku a try (as Beta 5 has just been released), and that also doesn't boot.

    BTW, the netbsd installation image works fine in a qemu in Debian on that VM, but that's not the goal...

    There must be some weird qemu setting VirtFusion is using here that screws up all these non-mainstream OSes...

    Under the "Advanced" install options, I had turned VNC off.

    Did you use the "Self-install option" in Linveo's Virtfusion and an official NetBSD image? If no, how did you do i?
