Vivek Gite is the founder of nixCraft, the oldest running blog about Linux and open source. Please note that above procedure is same even if you use OpeBSD or or any other Linux distro. Make sure you replace lnc0 interface and IP address with your actual interface and IP address. ![]() Pass in quick on lnc0 proto tcp from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.16 port = 6000 flags S keep stateĪbove rule will allow TCP Port 6000 connection from Linux system to FreeBSD system. If you have a FreeBSD IPFilter firewall then add following rule to your FreeBSD firewall script: Step #3: Export display from Linux to FreeBSD system (type all of the following commands at Linux system)Īt your Linux system type following command to export displayĪll of above three programs are now open on FreeBSD desktop system. For example to allow IP address 192.168.1.2 (our Linux system) you need to type command as follows: The xhost program is used to add and delete host names or user names to the list allowed to make connections to the X server. You need to use xhost command, which is server access control program for X. To enable this feature, you need to run startx command with the optional -listen_tcp: You would like to export display from Linux to FreeBSD. I recommend that you write a Mewburn rc script, an OpenRC script, or even a nosh service bundle to run your X server and client. This isn't how one does this under nosh service management, which has service bundles for PCDM and the various desktop managers, and for which one would similarly use a service bundle to start a plain X server and client, both enabled and disabled in the normal way for such service bundles.No ttys database entries are involved in either. TrueOS replaces this with PCDM, invoked by an OpenRC script. The FreeBSD Handbook shows how to run the various destkop managers via their respective Mewburn rc scripts, enabled/disabled by settings in rc.conf. This isn't really how one does this once one has a desktop manager in the mix.In fact, there's almost zero configurability of this as compared to a proper service manager, where one can fairly simply do things like configure environment variables for the X client and server and enable/disable services. The restart behaviour is not pretty, as you have discovered.Personally, I recommend against using this mechanism of ttys, for three reasons: Ttyv0 "/usr/local/bin/xterm -display :0" xterm on window="/usr/local/bin/X :0" You need to specify your actual X server with a window= setting and specify the initial X client to run in the second field of the record: # terminal emulate/window system The manual for ttys gives an example of how to do exactly this. Ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/startx" xterm on secure Please notice, that I don't want to use a login manager and that I don't want any auto login mechanism. It's like my xinitrc would not have been read at all. Just that it ended successfully after drivers etc. However, the standard Xorg.0.log gets updated with every try getty makes to start the x server. When I tried debugging the whole stuff adding a pipe to my tty command: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/startx > /tmp/startx.log" xterm on secure I don't have a ~/.xinitrc but modified the default xinit file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xinit. However, after logging in on a text console and running startx from there, it works completely fine without any problems. FreeBSD tries again 5 times, waits 30 seconds and tries again 5 times, waits 30 seconds, and so on. My problem is that, on boot, the current console switches to ttyv8 (working as expected), then my VirtualBox window resizes (which normally indicates that the X Server is taking control over the graphics output), but then the X server immediately closes. Click +New to create the virtual machine: This will load the New Virtual Machine Assistant. This is the relevant line of my config file /etc/ttys: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/startx" xterm on secure Installing FreeBSD on VMware Fusion The first step is to start VMware Fusion which will load the Virtual Machine Library. I use "/etc/ttys" on FreeBSD to configure the commands that are executed when getty is executed. ![]()
