Many thanks for this super helpful guide! For me, the installation stalled for about 6 hours at some point and just said "Estimating time remaining...", but I'm glad I left it going, because it worked in the end.
for me it's stuck on "About a minute remaining..." since many hours (don't know how much). The first time it worked good but for install XCode I had to upgrade, so I tried to upgrade and now it's stuck :-( I hope it will finish to work...
just like the others, but now from Belgium Just finish installation. Still works great like a champ. Thank you so much.Such a great guide! Clear and to the point!Your tutorial is amazing. Clear and straight to the point . Keep it up...Thank you a lot for this guide. I have never seen such clear and simple explanation.....Abstract programmer for president...Merry Christmas, happy newyear
Haha!! Thank you so much! The power of the internet, we really all live in one global village nowadays :-) Thanks for the kind words and happy holidays to you as well!
Please help.Everything broke when I select my laptop's native resolution 1366x768 and I can't repair it for default settings.I am not able to view anything
What I did wrong, is my computer os is Zorin 16.1 Pro with memory 27.3 GB Processor AMD Fx(tm)-850-eight-core X 8. I follow your useful video, while installing painful waiting time, after restarting the newly installed Mac again painful waiting time for every process is the same painful waiting time! Thank you for your tutorial, maybe something is wrong with my computer or Mac OS is so slow!
great guide, worked for and being trying to make a macos vm for 3 days now with usb pasth could of added the last step to put into Virt-Manager as i bricked it but i saved it thanks so much
Hi @Earl ofBurl I have mouse issue when I am login into virtual machine. My mouse pointer sometimes can't reach all places into this VM window.. How can switch to Xorg?? Something like a link to see details??
There's something wrong with this, QEMU isn't locking the mouse fully to the Mac-OS. Mouse pointer doesn't respond at all on guest VM, and when the pointer location leaves QEMU window the Linux mouse moves around, and once it goes to the QEMU window disappears again. To get the mouse to move on guest, I have to press Ctrl-Alt-G to "unlock" mouse, and then (while moving the mouse pointer in the desired direction) press Ctrl-Alt-G again. The mouse pointer on guest VM then moves a tiny little bit before freezing again. And I have to do this like 100x before I can move the pointer to the desired control. Mouse clicks go to the guest VM ok as do keyboard. Some kind of bug going on here...
In my machine qemu-img create -f qcow2 MyDisk.qcow2 35G the 35G which i allocated the partition isnt showing in the disk utility please help i have no allocated partition showing there
Hello, i'm stuck with the message "About a minute remaining..." for many hours. Have you a suggestion? I installed mac os twice, the first time it worked good with catalina, but when I tried to install XCode (the reason for why I want macos) it says that I need upgrade mac os, so I tried to upgrade. I had not enough space so I resized the partition and tried again, everything went good except i'm stuck on this message.
@@absprog The upgrade to Big Sur runs without any problem and install it on the MainDisk but at the end of the process the machine boots again on Catalina. Any clues?
I was afraid that something like that might happen... The guys who developed this project don't really support Big Sur yet. Sticking with Catalina is apparently the safest bet for now. Do you miss any specific feature from Big Sur? Or is it just that you would rather use the latest Mac version?
@@absprog It was just for fun. I was tired of blue screen in windows, then I have installed POP OS and over that Vmware player. W10 runs terrific but OSX doesn't.
Thank you for the tutorial, great job! Question - if I do the same can I perform over the air updates to macOS in the future? How are macOS updates performed?
After the installation, I tried to upgrade to Ventura but I'm out of disk space (I used 60 GB) for the virtual machine. How do I increase the disk space? I want to increase it to 100 GB. I presume MainDisk is the one.
After changing resolution in OVMF Settings screen got glitched "Restarted many times, changed to default 1280×720 still problem is same" else great video help me to stuck out of it 🥺
Thank you for great video. Works perfectly for me on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Only problem i see is when i play the any video on youtube inside macos, it get messed up. Too slow. I can display allocated for mac is 7mb only. is there way to modify it ? Also i have give 4 cores from my 6 physical core macos, still it show 2 cores allocation in about section of macos.
Excellent guide. Just my mouse is not working properly for some reason. It is moving but in the background of vm the ubuntu mouse is also moving. Its a problem to reach on certain apps and points on vm
How do I increase the size of my disk after installation? Please tell me how to download the application if a message pops up: "There is not enough disk space..." The size of the created disk is 45 GB, the application size is 11 GB.
J Richards Everything went well until I ran the Disk Utility and MyDisk.qcow2 set at 35G did not show up in the Disk list. The macOS Base System at 2.01 GB shows, but no MYDisk.qcow2 at 35G
Could I, please ask how I change the. ISO file from Catalina to 9.2 or 10.2.8? I downloaded a bunch of EMU but none of them is allowing me to do; Sosumi, VirtualBox, QuickEMU, none of them BasisliskII. But I would truly want to know is that if there are EMUs to install a MacOS system in this example, why they cannot emulate an HDD that I have MacOS installed on it straight away?
Can Apple make shit any MoRe complicated..LOL. Never buying Apple again. Ubuntu/Ryzen (NOT iNtel/aPple) will be more worth the investment. Big Slur..WOT a waste of time! Thanks Apple for f-ing up my 2017 MacAir without my permission! This was THE most straight-forward explanation on YT! Thank you.
I have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on mac, it's rather old iMac mid 2011. I installed it because I can only install macos 10.13.6 which is rather old and the machine, being still rather good could use an OS refresh - hence Ubuntu install. So far so good. I discovered this video and thought that maybe I can install Catalina as you did on this old mac but something tells me it won't work due to the hardware config of his mac. Am I wrong to think this way?
help me please. I did everything according to the instructions, everything worked out for me, everything works. but one problem remained. after expanding the virtual machine window to the full screen 1920*1080 (ctrl+alt+f), my system screen rises by 1 cm. so I have a 1cm black bar at the bottom of the screen, but I can't see the menu bar at the top (until I exit fullscreen mode). what can i do about it?
Thanks! I think it depends on the performance you want... A virtual machine will never be as capable as a physical one. But being able to hop between the 3 operating systems is really nice :-) Which one of the three you will be using the most?
Great video, however as soon as you try to install Monterey you'll hit that old "Well hell we're not making money on this so you can't run it" and the VM bricks... 😞 I want to try out Apple stuff but it constantly shows me that it continues to not play well with others...
hi. great, late in seeing this tutorial. sounds good. will this process work well with any ubuntu based distro or only the official ubuntu? Thanks & Regards... Moreover I do have a NVIDIA card 2G. Is that a problem?
Hey fella, great video. I am running into a little bit of a speed_bump. I keep unlocking the mouse in the utility window and yet there''s no apparent change. Nothing highlights when I hover with the mouse. How can this be fixed? Thank you
Thank you for the tutorial. After following the tutorial, now I am running " Catalina macOS " on my laptop on Debian KDE Linux. Everything seems to be working. When playing videos like RU-vid on browser, I found out that video and audio are not synced exactly.Audio comes fast and later the video like 3 seconds delay.I wonder if it is normal or not.Please advise me. And the other thing is that file sharing option. Can we use files locate on HOST Linux partition? Thank you again.
I've been trying with mixed results to get windows running as a guest under Ubuntu with pci gpu pass through. I guess you could do the same with Mac, but first can I ask what the performance is like just with all the defaults that you get from the basic installation demoed here? Not interested in games but apps for photo editing, like Lightroom or Luminar AI.
Thank you for your support. May I have a qustion? Using this method the virtual machine is created on the fly right? Via the script. There are lines in the readme files which enable you to export the config into virt-manager. Once you export to virt-manager this machine stays saved? I am new to QEMU/KVM stuff so maybe it's a stupid question :)
I'm not sure that I understood your question, but if you're asking how you can use it via the virt-manager GUI, you might want to take a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_eku1zxgqw.html
After installation it works good, but not for long time. After installing few updates (not system upgrade) QEMU holds and it isn't impossible do anything. Reboot of the QEMU takes it on a PAUSE and I can't even load OS. Are there some ideas how to fix it?
First time i was able to set up mac os successfully ,but that time i gave only 30 gb for it and after setting up i feel i need more space thats why i have deleted whole kvm folder and then i started again with more space but after downloaded the macos catalina it can not install ,it show this warning ' resources not found macos cannot be installed on your pc ' . Please tell me how can i solve it . I think it can't recognise the path may be ,please tell me how can i solve it
Hi, I am not a technical person, and so this question may be foolish to you. If the host has a Nvidia quadro p2200 graphics card, will the installation of Catalina go through ?
bro when i hit enter on termintal ./basic.sh shows me this qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/home/lorenc/Desktop/Downloads/macOS-Simple-KVM-master/firmware/OVMF_CODE.fd: warning: short-form boolean option 'readonly' deprecated Please use readonly=on instead Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize kvm: No such file or directory what is that
I have followed you steps, but when I reached to minute 3:37, where to run ./basic.sh , I got an error message as bellow: Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize kvm: No such file or directory What to do ? Can you help me, pls.
@@absprog that I understood, but to achieve the same end result VBox can be also used, I'm wondering if you know any pros and cons between the two approaches.
