Hey, I'm following this guide and got up to step 4.4. Now I am also having trouble with OSK's, just get a comedic one liner from Apple, not sure if that's actually the key, but I doubt it. Tried with the OSX tool linked in the references as well as a compiled SmcDumpKey on Ubuntu on top of VMWare. No Avail.

 

Anyway, I want to run through it still and see how far I get, currently I get an error:

"Unable to write to '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/machine/OSX-El-Capitan-10.11-VNC.libvirt-qemu/vcpu1/cpuset.cpus': Numerical result out of range"

 

Here are my files I have:

/mnt/cache/VM/Install_OS_X_10.11_El_Capitan.iso
/mnt/cache/VM/ElCapitan.img
/mnt/cache/VM/enoch_rev2795_boot

 

Here is my XML

 

I hope I can get a bit of help from you guys/girls as I'm hoping I can utilise my UnRaid server to offload some of the more RAM intensive stuff I do on my aging MacBookPro (early 2008) so it only has to run a VNC client.

 

Thanks

Christian

The comedic one line is it....

I knew it! Haha!

Thanks, so now I just have to solve this problem. I was just looking at Windows, something I haven't done since Windows 95! I don't have the option of Linux as the only thing I need a computer for now is Lightroom. But I really don't want to resort to Windows, 20 years of Mac makes It hard to go back.

 

While we're at it, my motherboard is m-itx, so I guess if I'm going to take this seriously I should upgrade to m-atx so I have an extra expansion slot for a dedicated gpu and stick some more ram and an i5 in there yeah?

You know that guide was written by archedraft from these forums and he has a support thread right?

I am, but because I thought the problem was with the OSK key I didn't post it there.

I'll move my further question over.

Thank you.

No problem, but as far as I'm concerned the two fellas that are the best to talk to about all things MacVM are archedraft and peter_sm.

 

Plus both being really nice chaps and very helpful makes that thread the place to go.

 

Nobody is going to tell you the OSK key but you'd already got it anyways...
