• MacOs Ventura13 on vBox in Suse on generic x86_64?

    From bad sector@forgetski@_INVALID_.net to alt.os.linux.suse on Sat Apr 15 20:40:04 2023
    From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.suse

    Ref: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=92649

    Is this possible at all?

    Any tutorials?

    Though new to vBox I notice that any Linux distro can be installed as a
    vBox 'guest' on any hardware running any other OS as 'host' but it's not
    so easy vice versa. Are the proprietary vendors cutting their own
    throats seeing that this trend favors the spread of Linux? :-)

    Hi
    Not sure about vBox, I use qemu and have Ventura 13 (and some
    others) running fine on Tumbleweed.... <https://forums.opensuse.org/t/march-2023-screenshots/164916/7> <https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM>

    I made a number of changes to the script for my setup here...

    I shudda said I'm new to all virtual machine topics, not just vBox

    Are you running quemu on a Mac?

    If not, does your qemu-vMac handle usb drivers just as if it were a real
    Mac?

    Hi
    No openSUSE Tumbleweed is the host operating system (as per signature
    ;)).

    As in connecting an iPhone or other apple devices?

    It should be no issues with qemu, just need the USB device ID's.

    I'm using 8 cores and 32GB of RAM for the qemu machine, a sluggish with
    4 cores...

    What hardware and operating system are you planning to use?

    OMG, I thought me king shit with 16gb's.. my aging iron is AMD-8-core
    with 16gb ram and I believe 8gb nvidia graphics.

    All "I" really wanna do is jam along with Boss guitar effect-boards
    (me80 and hopefully gt-1000) that require usb service for the drivers
    and bundleware ..but in a virtual box. The maker supplies drivers for
    doze and mac only (surprise).

    I notice that qemu is installed on my suse distro, so depending on
    confidence maybe I should investigate.

    Hi
    I run lots of virtual machines and the Tesla P4... 12cores/24threads
    128GB of ECC RAM ;) I need to upgrade to a 18/36 v4 cpu...

    You need an intel cpu for it to work, I would suggest using Windows
    with KVM/Libvirt, in virt-manager it is easier to add your USB devices
    on the fly...

    I'm locked to my AMD cpu for a while and 128gb of ECC ram doesn't even
    make it into my dreams :-)))

    But I've just had some success with the new vBox7 (see my posts under alt.os.linux). I've managed to get a usb driver to work, all I need now
    is to be able to virtualize either w10 or MacVentura.

    Hi
    I would suggest windows 10 then, 4 cores and 8GB of ram should suffice.

    Just add the windows 10 iuso image and follow the wizard and should be
    good to go. Watch out for kernel updates as vBox may break if not
    rebuilt against a newer kernel (don't have to worry about that with kvm/libvirt).

    I have this stinking habbit of spreading issues over different

    Managed to install w10 only once (off-line) out of 10 tries, it mostly complains about missing files (strange because it did work once). That
    lone (off-line) install that did work then broke when it subsequently
    went on-line.

    But I have also tried the Gt1000 (from other related posts) usb driver installation in the w7 vBox even though I don't have the Gt1000 (yet).
    It followed the same path as for the Me80 so I'm confident that I'm good
    with just the w7 vBox (for now).
