macOS 12 Beta Black Screen With Occasional Mouse Presence After First Restart With VMWare Workstation Player 16.2.1 on Windows 10 Host #62

Open TheFanatr opened 2 years ago

TheFanatr commented 2 years ago

I successfully installed macOS Beta from and install ISO after patching VMWare Workstation Player 16.2.1 with this tool, but then once I had completed setup and was in the desktop several hours later, and I tried installing VMWare Tools, it bricked the install after restart and now, after boot, all I get is a black screen and the mouse, which appears every 10-15 seconds for around half a second, and always resets itself to the top left corner. May be related to #61 and/or #57. I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

I am on a Windows 10 host (19043.1348) which I keep up to date, in case that matters.

Here is the install auto-unlocker log.

I will try to uninstall the auto-unlocker, and install the original python unlocker to see if that works.

Ok so if I hold shift during boot, with a lower screen resolution, something different happens. The screen is not totally black with an animated activity indicator horizontally centered, slightly below center. The indicator is visible and animated for most of a period of 5 seconds, then is invisible for a period of another 5 seconds, soon after the beginning of which, the mouse mouse is moveable from the top left corner, until the period ends, at which point it will reset to the top left corner, and be unmoveable. This loops indefinitely. I'm not sure what this is, but it could be some form of safe mode options menu or login screen.

After starting again from scratch, I learned that this behaviour will happen no matter if I've installed VMWare Tools for macOS before first restart; after installing, next boot will cause this described black screen with no apparent recourse. Am abandoning VMWare for now.

RandyHarr commented 2 years ago

Can confirm this behavior for VM Workstation v15.5.5 and Win11 host setup as well. Used macOS 12 Beta ISO for the install.

Can also confirm that following the suggestions for display settings in the VMX file and turning on automatic login bypassed the problem and allows me to operate. See https://blog.eucse.com/how-to-run-macos-monterey-12-beta-in-vmware-fusion/ . So not a setup problem here. A MacOS 12 Beta one. But how did they get that selection of MacOS 11 instead of MacOS 10.16? Is there updated code out -- maybe the Python original? I did hand edit the VMX file to make it be Darwin 21 instead of 20 selected with 10.16. Not sure if that helped at all.
