Fails With Error #6

Closed TexanScot closed 6 years ago

TexanScot commented 6 years ago

App doesn't work for me. Output as shown below:

Running checks (around 1 second).... Creating image '/tmp/macOS-Mojave.dmg' (around 20 seconds, version 14.0.11, will need sudo)...already exists. Creating iso '/tmp/macOS-Mojave.iso.cdr' (around 25 seconds).... ERROR: line 298 - command '[ $# -ne 0 ]' exited with status: 1. ERROR: In :: called at line 0. DEBUG: From function :: (line 0).

Any ideas?

Can you paste the content of the log file that has been created on your desktop?

Entries below are from the first attempt at running the app. Looks like the issue is associated with ProgressDialog not being found?

The interesting part is Error erasing disk error number (22, 0). Also hdiutil: convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable. Need some time to investigate on this. Have you tried after rebooting the machine?

TexanScot commented 6 years ago

So after a reboot of the machine I was able to progress further with installation. At present I have the grey screen that say's "MacOS Mojave Beta - Select the Disk Where You Want to Install MacOS."

However the install process seems to hang at this point (or is taking a very long time). Presently the screen has been at this point for at least 5 mins with no sign of progress. I'm installing on a Late 2013, 13" MBP. Is there a way to tell whether the install process is hung?

Thanks for your assistance with this by the way.

TexanScot commented 6 years ago

Actually it appears that the "Install" arrow is greyed out and is not active. I can select "back" from the screen which takes me back to the "Agree to License" selection however when I select "Agree" I end up back at the install screen with the greyed out button.

A problem with the configuration of the virtual machine?

AlexanderWillner commented 6 years ago

Have you formatted the drive? See Step 2 at https://github.com/AlexanderWillner/runMacOSinVirtualBox/blob/master/README.md#step-by-step-guide

TexanScot commented 6 years ago

Yeah, just realized that I had missed this step. Can't seem to get back to the screen that offered disk utilities though - seems like I may need to go through the entire configuration process once more?

I'll give it a go a little later and let you know how I fare.

Thanks.

Actually, just clicking on ‚back’ or probably rather ‚quit‘ will be enough. No need to restart or do the whole process again.
