how to start openbox
Hi,
I've installed Openbox on OpenBSD 5.8 (quad cores AMD64), i do entry like this : Code:
pkg_add openbox pkg_add obconf pkg_add obmenu Code:
.xinitrc exec openbox-session and now i don't know how to start openbox ? I do Code:
$ openbox Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0 $ |
|

what's can i write into the $HOME/.xsession for start openbox because i use Kde4 ?
|

Ah, now I understand your objective. Openbox can integrate with KDE so that it can be used as the user's window manager inside of a KDE session. This is done at login time, by the user selecting Openbox from the KDE Display Manager (KDM) login screen.
http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:KDE/Openbox In this case, you must have KDM running as your Display Manager. Last edited by jggimi; 5th January 2016 at 12:51 AM. |

Please can you advisor me about another virtual machine for OpenBSD 5.8 with Kde4 ?

I think you are confusing Openbox with VirtualBox. These are similar names for software packages which have two very different purposes.

Yesterday i try to virtualize with qemu ! it's run but it's very very slow, i know very well virtualbox under lot of UNIX and LINUX operating system, i'm very curiosity to understand the virtualisation consept...
But now i do pkg_add virtualbox and pkg_add virtualbox-ose, it's doesn't found a package, have a good referenciel ! How can i do for use virtualbox on OpenBSD ? Last edited by philo_neo71; 5th January 2016 at 01:33 AM. |

VirtualBox has nothing to do with Openbox, and it is not available on OpenBSD.
If you want to use OpenBSD as a host for guest operating systems, you must use a hardware emulator such as Qemu or simh -- with one exception, noted below. Hardware emulators are slow, because they emulate hardware functionality entirely in software. If you want to understand concepts, as you've stated, then Qemu is an excellent teaching tool, because it can emulate many different hardware platforms, emulate many types of network interconnections, and emulate many types of peripheral devices. If you want more performance, I recommend using an OS that supports a hypervisor in production, such as FreeBSD with bhyve, NetBSD with Xen. Or, as you've stated, using a Linux solution. Hypervisors are virtualization tools that either operate completely in hardware (such as on mainframe computers) or partially with hardware assistance. --- OpenBSD has a hypervisor currently in development. It is available to the user community for testing, but it is not production-ready and I would not recommend it to anyone for learning about virtualization. This hypervisor currently requires amd64 architecture processors with hardware virtualization support, requires the use of a custom kernel, and any guest virtual machines are limited to single-CPU systems running OpenBSD/amd64 kernels with serial consoles. |
