qemu not starting up #64

Open crouther opened 5 years ago

crouther commented 5 years ago

These were my exact commands: sudo pacman -S qemu python python-pip ./jumpstart.sh --mojave qemu-img create -f qcow2 MyDisk.qcow2 64G nano basic.sh (and then added):

-drive id=SystemDisk,if=none,file=MyDisk.qcow2 \
-device ide-hd,bus=sata.4,drive=SystemDisk \

[root@nzxtarch macOS-Simple-KVM-master]# ./basic.sh qemu-system-x86_64: if=none,file=mac.qcow2: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exists

Virtual machine is not starting when script is executed. running an Arch linux 2019 vm build. Executing script from GUI terminal, xfce4 environment. The Arch instillation itself is running in a virtualbox on a windows 10 build

Nested virtualization hasn't been tested on Windows hosts, as a note. You you probably post the whole basic.sh as there seem to be more than just the edits you noted.

Can you add -nodefaults \, and fix the space after id=SystemDisk?

Might try this?

Not helping causing other issues, if you find something let me know

foxlet commented 5 years ago

Make sure VT-x/AMD-V is enabled in your firmware settings,

I've confirmed:

VirtualBox > Arch (Settings) > System > Acceleration >

Hardware Virtualization: ✔ Enable VT-x/AMD-V ✔ Enable Nested Paging

clonidine commented 10 months ago

any update?

crouther commented 5 months ago

The method I used a few years ago leveraged VMware Workstation Player on Windows 10 to run macOS. After several different troubleshooting attempts I discovered Windows struggles to host nested VirtualBox instances. I'm unaware if the software has improved over the years but you'll likely get greater performance just running macOS on a Mac, in a VirtualBox on a Linux distro, or in a VM on Windows.

Oh, I see. Thanks.
