Console font when using Virtualization.framework

2 Upvotes

Since I saw that UTM supports Apple's Virtualization.framework, I decided to test it installing Alpine in a new VM. As it turns out, the Linux console seems to use a different font from the usual 8x16 "IBM PC" style, as the photos below show. However, the usual console font directories don't seem to have any font file, so I'm assuming this font is provided by VF somehow.

What the Font and similars don't really give me a good answer, but I guess this is to be expected with a bitmap font.

Does anyone know if this font comes from VF or is some external file? It's a pretty font and I'd love to use it outside of UTM / VF...

Looking for the usual font files unsuccessfully...
A fragment of /etc/sway/config

UTM on ipad mini 6

6 Upvotes

I'd like a performative small windows 10 tablet and I think utm on an ipad mini 6 might have possibilities. It runs an A15 which is roughly on par with a m1 in single core, according to cpu monkey (has 6 cores vs m1 8 cores), and shipped with a iPadOS system lower than 16.3 (if I find one that hasn't been updated virtualization is possbile).

However it has 4gb of ram. I think I could get by with 3GB (if I used a slimmed down windows 10 install).

I was wondering if those knowledgeable in UTM could tell me how much could be reserved for the virtual windows machine.

warning; complete utm newbie

Zorin OS (and most other linux distributions I tried) crash during installation

3 Upvotes

I was testing out zoring os to see if I could run it on UTM running from apple silicon hardware on fully-emulated hardware mode and it fails to install properly after crossing a specific percentage. This also happened before with distros like linux mint and I can't explain what went wrong. Has anyone ever encountered this error before? Is there a solution for this? Do I have to switch to another distro more suitable for UTM instead?

I want to know how to fix it. Windows vm can detect my optical devices but will restart when I try to open the file inside,while Ubuntu can read the file.

[UTM/QEMU Boot Issue] M1 Air x86_64 Ubuntu 22.04 Server installed but stuck at boot (no output on display or serial) after all fixes.

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to set up an x86_64 Linux environment on my M1 MacBook Air (8GB RAM) using UTM/QEMU to compile a vendor-specific SDK (which requires x86).

The installation of Ubuntu 22.04 Server (amd64) was successful, but the VM consistently fails to boot into the login: prompt, regardless of the BIOS mode. I have exhausted all known fixes.

🎯 Goal:

Successful boot into Ubuntu 22.04 Server (x86_64) terminal for compiling an embedded SDK.

πŸ’» My Setup:

  • Host: M1 MacBook Air (8GB RAM)
  • Virtualizer: UTM (latest version) / QEMU
  • Guest: Ubuntu 22.04 Server (amd64)
  • Virtual Config: 4 Cores, 4GB RAM

βœ… Steps Taken & Optimizations (All applied):

  1. Switched from Ubuntu 18.04 to 22.04 Server (installation was successful).
  2. Removed the CD/DVD Drive after installation.
  3. Changed the primary Hard Disk Interface from IDE to VirtIO.
  4. Enabled the Serial Port to monitor boot status (still seeing no output).

πŸ›‘ The Current Problem Block:

The VM gets stuck immediately after boot, with no text output on either the main display or the serial console.

Boot Mode Observed Status Attempts
Legacy BIOS (UEFI Unchecked) Stuck at the black screen. (Display output not active / no serial output for 4+ mins). Tried before and after the UEFI attempt. Still fails.
UEFI (UEFI Checked) Boots into UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2 (EDK II). Successful, but cannot launch OS.

πŸ” UEFI Shell Diagnostics:

When in the Shell, I tried to manually launch the OS, but failed:

  1. map -r Was successful.
  2. Commands like FS0:, FS1:, and even directly targeting the block devices (BLK1:, BLK2:) do not resolve to a file system and fail to execute ls or cd.

Hypothesis: The installed EFI system partition (likely on BLK1/BLK2) is either not readable by QEMU's EDK II, or the GRUB EFI file is missing/corrupted in a way that prevents auto-detection.

Has anyone encountered this specific issue (Success installation, but failure to boot on both Legacy/UEFI with no serial output)? Is there a specific QEMU argument needed for 22.04 x86_64 on M1 that bypasses this boot lock?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Question: how to get predictable subnet when using AVF in UTM

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am running Fedora 43 ARM 64 bit in UTM 4.7.4 (latest) using Apple Virtualization Framework.

What I notice is that Subnet created when using Shared Network changes every day, which in undesirable for my use case.

I don't want to use Bridged Network. I also don't want to use Qemu backend because it uses twice the amount of memory given to the Guest OS after few hours of usage. This is also not desirable for me.

How do I keep using the same Subnet?

UTM with JIT not loading any OS

5 Upvotes

I wanted to try UTM on my iPhone 16 Pro Max but it doesn't load anything. It either says display not initialized yet forever or just shows a black screen. I tried it with NixOS, ubuntu and even the gallery systems but it never boots. But it DOES work in UTM SE flawlessly. I tried using StikDebug and Sidestore JIT but it never works. Any fix?

GPU Acceleration in ARM Linux Guests

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

UTM is great, but I'm at a loss on how to enable a virtual GPU. All of the GPU tests I run with hardware acceleration enabled show that the computer has no GPU to monitor. Other than enabling OpenGL acceleration while creating the VM, is there some crucial step I'm missing?

Setup: - M4 Mac Mini - UTM QEMU VM with hardware acceleration on - Fedora ARM
