[Support] SpaceinvaderOne - Macinabox
Jagadguru replied to SpaceInvaderOne's topic in Docker Containers
@RockDawg Only thing I can think is try removing <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> -
No. On further investigation the GUI Xorg process is pinned on 100% of one thread of one core whenever anything is clicked. On still further investigation the problem is Firefox. with Firefox closed, it runs fast. Ok I've narrowed it down to the fact that Firefox is using very little memory 0.1%, whereas on my other machine it uses 1.2%. The total memory is the same on both machines. Is there any way to allocate more of the memory pool to Firefox?

I use the unRIAD GUI a lot (the X GUI) Unfortunately it lags with a refresh rate of about 2 frames per second. I'm using the onboard VGA of a Supermicro Motherboard. From the command line xrandr reports a 60hz refresh rate. The xrandr settings I have tried to change do nothing. I don't have a clue. But it's behavior is something like I have seen on a 20 year old video card trying to display a modern scrolling webpage, but this motherboard is recent. I have tried a different monitor and remote KVM through IPMI. cs-diagnostics-20191112-0004.zip

Note the native resolution of your monitor. First boot MacOS and change the clover GUI resolution to the native for your monitor (using clover configurator or whatever way you're comfortable configuring clover. Drop passthrough for now and set up VM to use VNC. Using VNC, press F2 or esc as VM is booting, then when you get the BIOS menu choose (I forget which) and set the resolution to the native for your monitor. Then hit continue. After it boots successfully into the desktop, shut it down. Then passthrough your graphics card and see if it looks right. Boot order can be modified in the boot section of clover configurator on your MacOS desktop, after mounting EFI partition (I think "o") with the configurator. -

Check that in Settings > Network, bridging is enabled and the bridge is named br0 and the bridge includes eth0 at least. -

If you change the line <source bridge='virbr0'/> to <source bridge='br0'/> The Mac VM should pull an ip address in the range 192.168.1.0/24 -

iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud work for me after following a guide like this one. AirDrop I have read is tricky and you might have to passthrough Wi-Fi or Bluetooth hardware. I don't have Apple Pay or an iPhone/iPad. -
**VIDEO GUIDE** How to Install MacOS Mojave or High Sierra as a VM

Set resolution in OVMF. Press esc or F2 while booting. -
Yes all of the above.😀

It was worth a shot but no, it does not work with any. Also I see this behavior, Macos reporting Cable unplugged. on a brand new install of Catalina using Macinabox with default settings (except using qcow2). Changing virtual network device to e1000-82545em after install. That means it's something about my unRAID configuration (using v6.7.2 and bridging). But it works with High Sierra and Mojave. Seems like a very reproducible bug. EDIT: a New Macinabox install works with e1000-82545em on unRAID v6.8.0 rc5, Tested on two machines, both not working with 6.7.2 and both working with 6.8.0 rc5. My solution: just abandon my old install and use the new Macinabox Catalina install. @glennv What you say is perfectly sensible, but unfortunately I do not have a free PCIe slot. I also tried a USB to Ethernet adapter I had laying around but no success with that.

Same problem here. Must be downloading the wrong recovery img. -
What virtual device, e1000e? I will try all.

@bland328 After injecting that kext, networking works great, but there is a process called kernel_task which now has constant 115% CPU usage. Is your VM doing that as well?

@bland328 Thanks, kudos to you! The kext solved my problem. -

Yes this is exactly my problem. But I also need bridging because I need my VM to have an address on the main subnet for automated ssh, etc. Yes vmxnet3 has a crippled slow upload speed, so it fails at some connections. -

Glad to hear you finally got it! Now if I could get e1000-82545em to work with Catalina. Does the above pic look right? A lot of things break when that driver loads. Finder won't open, screenshot doesn't work, won't shut down, preferences crashes. -

Try removing mode='host-passthrough' check='none' that improved my VM. At least it improved the bootup. -

I second that. But now I can't get e1000-82545em to work anymore. MacOS reports "cable unplugged." virsh domif-setlink Catalina vnet0 up does not help. -

Domain is tainted error can be safely ignored. I just means you're running a configuration or some component that is not officially supported by the maintainers of either KVM or QEMU. That means that if you ever need to contact them to report a bug or get help, you would need to adjust your configuration such that it is purely running their supported code and not "tainted" or they will not try to fix it, because they don't support that use or component added. -
**VIDEO GUIDE** How to Install MacOS Mojave or High Sierra as a VM
Jagadguru replied to SpaceInvaderOne's topic in VMs
Hey @david279 or anybody. I have been using a MacoS VM as my daily driver for 2 years now and have gone through 4 or 5 versions of MacOS starting with Yosemite I believe. Through several versions of Clover and and even QEMU/Libvirt/OVMF. Maybe every 5th time or so, the VM will crash immediately on showing the apple logo on boot. This has happened through all these iterations. It's not critical. Really just an annoyance. Lately, with Catalina-Beta on start it bootloops 2 or 3 times before it "catches." Does that happen to you guys? I haven't read anywhere about this being common. -

I use Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows and Mac. Plug and play No drivers Needed. (AU-MMSA). Plugged into a passed through USB3 controller. Also just works. -

You can just make a backup of your vdisk and try it. It worked for me. That is how I got from HS to Mojave. When a new MacOS comes out sometimes I upgrade in-place and sometimes I do a clean install, whatever I feel like. -
When I read your post I decided to try it. I passed through two GPU's to the same Windows 10 VM. I did not test it extensively, but it seems to work. I was able to extend the desktop across two monitors and everything. Maybe if I get a chance I will try in on MacOS. Edit: Just tried it on MacOS. Same result. It works.
