Go to the Libvirt Hotplug USB page and click on the device to be attached and attach it. Then click on the 'USB Devices' to show the list of devices and get a screen shot of that whole page and post it here.

have you updated the macinabox container and forgot to delete the script? Does the script say First install yes/no?

You did not understand me. I have been successfully using VM for half a year already, more than 10 VMs. To change the configuration (mouse, keyboard, cpu, ram), I change the xml profile of the vm in notepad. The helper script works for me only once, if I use it again, I get a black screen

PS: Good avatar 😃 i like Dexter )

August 17, 2022

Greetings. I noticed one thing. When I run the helper script for the first time to make changes to the xml - everything is fine. But when I change the xml, add memory, bark or whatever, then run the helper script, I get a black screen. At the moment I'm just manually editing the xml.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

my actions are: 1) make changes to the VM 2) In the helper script I change the vm name 3) run the helper script

Hello. When i passthrough video card all good. Successful launch VM. But when i passthrough mouse or keyboard i have black screen.

maybe I'm doing something wrong? I set USB Devices in xml. Then edit 1_macinabox_helper ( name VM) . Then start 1_macinabox_helper

As a server or a client?

As a client to connect to windows, app store has microsoft remote desktop app (to connect to windows rdp).

As a server, just enable in system preferences -> sharing -> remote management and then use any vnc client to connect to the mac (standard port 5900).

Server. i need to connect to mac from windows.

This(VNC) will work in my LAN(wifi) ? OR it use my internet traffic

This is not explained in details and what it has to do with macinabox

At the same time and each vm with its gpu?

So, specify what you want to achieve clearly, in a new discussion.

All VM have gpu( i have 4 gpu).

I just need to watch what is happening on the VM.

I think remote desktop will be just right for me. Whats remote desktop will be good for mac ?
