bug: Can't boot macOS on Fedora 40 with Wayland about quickemu

[lj3954]

The PR contains fixes to the CPU argument for macOS guests. If the issue is not fixed with those changes, please provide the output of quickemu, which now will print out errors in the case that the VM fails to launch.

@blakemcbride did you run the chmod 777 /home/blake/Public from the quickemu output?

[xensurve]

8db3100 there is an issue with a missing varible in the latest build it may be why your having this issue

[Janek3d]

I installed via apt and I checked the /usr/bin/quickget and it uses the qemu-img instead of variable

[xensurve]

try using version 4.9.4

[blakemcbride]

4.9.4 gives me the following error when I execute quickemu --vm macos-ventura.conf

cat: macos-ventura/macos-ventura.pid: No such file or directory

[blakemcbride]

Setting chmod 777 /home/blake/Public made no difference.

[blakemcbride]

Running Ubuntu-24.04 works fine.

[flexiondotorg]

Please can you try launching the VM with --display spice and also with --display gtk in the quickemu arguments and let me know if either of those work.

[Janek3d]

Running with spice showed the window but it couldn't connect. And still the pid file was unaccesible

[blakemcbride]

I can run ubuntu guest just fine so I do not think the display logic is the problem.

[flexiondotorg]

I think this is a side affect of: #1229

[lj3954]

4.9.4 gives me the following error when I execute quickemu --vm macos-ventura.conf

cat: macos-ventura/macos-ventura.pid: No such file or directory

This error means that QEMU entirely failed to launch. Since your quickemu version does not include commit 5edc931, the logs won't automatically be printed. Please paste the contents of the .log file in your VM directory here.

[novamilky]

Is there any fix for this?

[Psycho-naut]

I have the same problem trying install macos catalina.

I do not understand why you'd close this issue. Why would you merge this with macOS host? We're talking about macOS guest on a Linux host. This issue is still present.
