tilllt Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hey People, i have installed OSX Sierra in a KVM / QEMU VM on my Ubuntu, following the Kholia OSX Guide: https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM Install went smooth and i can boot OSX without problems, even using the boot-macOS-HS.sh - which supposedly is for High Sierra but seems to work fine with Sierra. Reason for using the High Sierra start script is that i preferred Clover over Enoch Bootloader since i am familiar with Clover. The main problem i am stuck with is setting up the Network. None of the outlined ways work for me, neither User Networking with Slirp nor with TAP device, not with Bridged mode. The OSX guest does not have a Network device at all. Anyone has an Idea what i can do to get a network device into OSX that is compatible with either of the Networking methods? Next step would be setting up the accelerated graphics (vmware) adapter ... ultimately i want to be able to use FCP7 in the VM... Cheers, t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from all that, you don't want to use FCP7, unless you passthrough some GPUs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilllt Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Well, thats the next step then. Actually i am already resarching how to do that on my Optimus Notebook, so i guess i have to pass through the primary (intel) iGPU - running the Hypervisor headless, which apparently is possible, but i didnt find a comprehensive guide yet. Unless there is a way to use the GTX 1060 dGPU of my optimus Laptop with the VM (which i havent heard of yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvflash Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 This should give you slirp with dhcp -netdev user,id=net0 -device e1000-82545em,netdev=net0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:c9:18:27 \ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilllt Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Darn. There was a character in the comment line before which made QEMU / KVM ignore the line with the Network card. So thats settled and i could download the virtio-net-osx kext from here: https://github.com/pmj/virtio-net-osx In parallel i am trying to get Intel GVT-g running, anyone tried this with OSX before? https://github.com/intel/gvt-linux/wiki/GVTg_Setup_Guide and https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2017/01/virtual-gpu-support-landing-upstream/ Obviously its a major downside of only being able to use VNC as the remote desktop viewer (for now), advantage would be full (shared) Intel graphics with acceleration in tge Guest...
