Ubuntu 17.10 puzzle (QEMU-X64)
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 7:50 pm
Anyone out there emulating a mac on Ubuntu? I have done so for years, until the upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 broke my virtual machine: it is locked in an infinite boot loop.
I decided to rebuild my virtual mac from the start, with a blank virtual disk, installing OS X 10.8.5, adding Chimera, which all worked as expected. However, it wasn't until I added the org.chameleon.Boot.plist with the Chimera wizard, to skip the boot menu, when my virtual machine broke again! I can now replicate the behaviour that removing the plist restores my machine back into working order, while adding it locks it into an infinite booting loop.
When I have time, I will look into this further, to find out what .plist setting is the culprit here, but for now, I would appreciate if anyone out there running Ubuntu could shed some light on this?
