CURRENT: bhyve: xfreerdp doesn't support OpenSSL 3 yet. Alternatives?
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 14:35:06 UTC
Hello, running a recent CURRENT, 14.0-CURRENT #10 main-n263871-fd774e065c5d: Thu Jun 29 05:26:55 CEST 2023 amd64, xfreerdp (net/freerdp) doesn't working anymore on Windows 10 guest in bhyve. It seems OpenSSL 3 is the culprit (see the error message from xfreerdp below). I opened already a PR (see: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272281). In a very quick response I was informed that recent FreeRDP doesn't support OpenSSL 3 yes (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/pull/8920). Checking for HowTo's setting up bhyve guests, I dodn't realise any setting for alternatives to RDP. As I do not fully understand how bhyve passes through its guest's framebuffer device/ or native GUI, I'm a bit helpless in searching for another solution to contact the Windows10 guest from the X11 desktop of the hosts. Trying remmina turns out to be a fail, because in our installation libsoup2 and libsoup3 are installed both and remmina complains about having both symbols, also I realised remmina seems to utilize net/freerdb as the RDP backend. Since I have no clue how to install "blindly" a VNCserver within the Windows10 guest, I presume VNC is not an option in any way. Is there any way to access the bhyve guest's native graphical interface? As in the PR shown above already documented (setup taken from the FreeBSD Wiki/bhyve), a framebuffer is already configured. It would be nice if someone could give a hint. Thanks in advance, oh -- O. Hartmann
