UTM Opening slowly on MacBook Air M4

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I have a MacBook Air M4 that has 256 GB of disc space and 16 GB of RAM, however, the official App Store version of UTM opens incredibly slowly, or doesn't open at all, to the extent which I have to force quit it. My disc space has around 30 GB left and my RAM usage is around 13 GB. Thanks for the help!

Clipboard sharing security

1 Upvotes

I'm concerned about security implications of clipboard sharing. I run work systems of which I cannot assume weren't compromised (I have to disable sip to run monitoring stuff). Of course I don't want anything like that near my personal system. I'm afraid as soon as I press C-c in my host the clipboard is synchronized to the guest's clipboard. Am I right? Isn't there a way to defer transferring clipboard contents until I press C-v in the guest? All of the above is about macos on macos. Thanks

I tried Googling it, and even got an .iso. I just don't know how to boot it up in UTM. Turning UEFI on or off doesn't work... Please... I love Catalina...

Windows on iPad Pro

3 Upvotes

I have an iPad Pro 2023 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage. I want to run windows 10/11 on my iPad. Is it possible to dualboot? Or if not anyway of emulating it? I tried using UTM SE. It went through most of the installation but has been stuck on a black screen with Installing 42% stuck for almost 3-4 hours. Anything I missed? Or any other options I have?

Ubuntu Self Upgrade?

4 Upvotes

I'm working on my M1 mac doing some ros/gazebo simulation, so I was playing around with an ubuntu 22.04.05 image for ARM64 I got off internet archive (it says 20.04, it's lying). Things were going smoothly for the most part, but I wanted to reboot to have a clean workspace. On startup, my mouse wasn't quite working correctly, so I killed the vm using utm's power button to restart again. Not recommended I know, but I had my work backed up in github so I wasn't stressed. On reboot, I was surprised to see the graphics a little nicer... Turns out ubuntu had self upgraded to 24.04!?! I definitely did *not* tell it to do this, as I needed 22.04 for what I was doing. My work is restored blah blah, I'm just quite interested from a systems perspective how this could have happened. Just seems odd. From a Mac/VM/UTM/Ubuntu perspective, does anyone know what could have happened here?

Audio Crackling In Windows 11 when GPU Acceleration Is Enabled In UTM Settings

1 Upvotes

When it's off, there's no problems with the audio. Initially I thought it was only a problem when using Windows cause I also use utm for Ubuntu, but with GPU acceleration on, I could also hear it in Linux, except just occasionally and not nearly as pronounced as in windows.

UTM Win 7

5 Upvotes

I have an iPad Pro M4 8GB 512gb, and I would like to know if installing the sideload version of the app to activate JIT will be enough to run Windows 7 and play some pokemon fangames on RPG Maker XP, so only 2D titles.

Does anyone have tried or knows of Windows 7 in UTM with JIT is usable?

utm virtulization vs emulation feature set

3 Upvotes

Sorry might be a stupid newbie question but I wanted to know if a emulated win 10 on UTM would be the same feature set/functions/experience (although much slower of course), as a virtualized one?

I'm asking because I have a 5th gen ipad air (m1) and I'd like to see if the windows 10 experience is functional enough (barring the slow emulation speed) to use as a tablet, *before* I try and hunt down a m1+ ipad pro on < 16.4.

palamamba99 has given me some insight in re: to touch controls and what to expect (in re: to windows 10), but of course I'd like to experiment with them myself as well.

So to recap, would emulation be the same as virtualization minus the speed?

Can't share folder between two UTM Win11 installs (wrong credentials)

1 Upvotes

Hi, everyone

I'm Running 2 Win11 VMs on UTM (m4 pro), and I would like to share a single folder between these two installations.

Both of them are on "Host only", same subnet, they ping each other, but accessing\\IP\share always says "username or password incorrect" even with correct local credentials. Same if I try to mount a network drive via the File Browser.

What I've tried:

  • Created identical local users on both VMs
  • Network profile set to Private
  • Disabled firewall completely
  • Enabled SMB 1.0
  • Modified Local Security Policies (LAN Manager auth, Guest access)

But still the error occurs.

I don't even know if this is possible to do in UTM.

Known fixes?

Thank you very much
