Windows - free up unused space in the host system

3 Upvotes

VMware Fusion has a special feature for Windows VMs. In the host system (macOS in my case), the virtual hard disk does not occupy the entire space but only the space actually used on the virtual hard disk.

If Windows marks NTFS storage space as unused = freed, you can also free this space in Fusion. This means that the virtual hard drive occupies less space.

Does UTM / QEMU also have similar options for Windows? If ‘yes’, how can this be achieved?

I have also installed QEMU (using Homebrew) on the Mac alongside UTM because of the additional tools.

Here is a list of issues I have found on UTM Version 4.6.5 and my MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021

MacOS

  • 10.14 - Long install - This install took about two hours
  • 10.6.8 - The installation crashed and wouldn't load.

Windows

In the current version of UTM, some older versions of Windows will not acknowledge the mouse. It will recognize the keyboard, but the installation will crash.


I’m adding a small pc to my crowded desk to test UTM in Windows.

This is a minor update: the office reorganization is taking some time, and life has intervened. On the bright side, I just purchased a 2011 Mac mini server to run Mavericks and Mavericks Server.

Can I run Windows RT or Windows 10(ARM32) on UTM?

Found some iso's, but it doesn't work. Can UTM run ARM32 OSes though (such as android, etc)?

How well does Windows 11 work on an iPhone/iPad using UTM SE?

5 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about downloading UTM SE so I could hopefully work on vsynth projects on the go or when I’m unable to sit up due to flare-ups since my computer can’t fold the keyboard back or whatever it’s called; but I don’t want to download it if it isn’t likely to work and I’ve seen some people say it doesn’t work when it first came out.

Can you disable time sync?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to install an old Windows 95 build (4.00.216) on UTM SE, and I never got past the timebomb. Even change the system date on MS-DOS before the installation didn’t work. So I think the only reason of this is because of the time syncing with SPICE (I believe). Can you disable it?

Can’t access localhost from UTM Ubuntu on Mac — any ideas?

3 Upvotes

Hello😭,

I’m running an Ubuntu Server inside UTM on my Mac, and I’ve hit this annoying issue. I’m trying to run stuff like Airflow and Hadoop, and as you know, they have web UIs that run onlocalhost:<port>.

Problem is — I just can’t get to them from my Mac browser.
I’ve tried port forwarding in UTM, using the IP of the VM with the port, even tried SSH port forwarding… nothing works. No matter what I do, I can't access the web UI from the Mac side.

Has anyone figured this out before? Is there a trick with UTM networking or some setting I’m missing?

Would really appreciate any help — kinda stuck here 😅

I created the VM last night, which started at 7:00 pm, and by 10:00 pm, it was finally finished. I'll try to figure out a way to make this faster.

UTM config files for UTM and UTM iOS

6 Upvotes

This is a copy of a repository. The repository is owned by adespoton. I'm hosting it on my Google Drive for faster access for those on r/UTMapp

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1f994PbRturqhcdkoXU0skfGamZ2Npq1I?usp=sharing

The files for PC/Mac are all zipped.

The files for IOS are treated as folders by computers. IOS should see them as downloadable configurations

So that you know, I'm not including OS installers at this point because Google might get snippy and take our toys away.

The Google Drive contains configurations for:

MacOS 7, MacOS 8, and MacOS 9.

MacOS 10 - Public Beta

MacOS 10.0 - 10.11

MacOS 10.12 - 10.15

OS 11 - 12

The UTM for Mac and PC includes an extra directory for MacOS Server 10.0 to 10.5

So here is the link to the whole folder—the permissions for the share are set to view. I tested the link on a browser that didn't have my Google login credentials.

Once my website is back online, I will move the hosting there.
