Virtual machine output full of garbage strings

[gennaroprota]

Hi,

I noticed that the output from the virtual machine is full of very odd strings. I've attached some screenshots. Unfortunately, I can't give much details. They just seem random.

It's the text on the screen when booting the VM.
I will remove them from the output.

I'm not sure we are understanding each other. In the first screenshot, there's, for instance:

AN

a

..

Press FiZ to select...

In the second one, there's:

PS a ee CCC csc ee

etc. etc.

I understand. the text was OCRed from images, so, the text is not 100% correct.

BTW: if you need to debug issues in FreeBSD VM, you can use this project: https://github.com/vmactions/shell-freebsd

Aha, it hadn't occurred to me that it could be OCR'd text! Thanks! And thanks for the pointer to shell-freebsd, too.

@Neilpang do you have any pointers on where to go to suppress the OCR output? I'd be happy to submit a PR but am not familiar with writing Actions myself 🙂

@KodrAus
I think it's the output of the "pytesseract" command.

please give it a try.
