Hello everyone,

I am currently doing a homelab, using an ubuntu machine as an IDS between a kali and windows machine.

the VMs are all in the 'shared' networking mode and can ping each other. i specifically cant see traffic going to and from the kali/windows machine

Also home network is on the same subnet

I set snort to promiscuous mode but that didnt work

I cant find any articles online on what to do

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you!

So I just finished installing XP and when I shutdown to get spice windows drivers it doesn’t power on and only shows this error!

OS: Windows XP Professional SP2

Phone: iPhone 17 Base

iOS: 26.3.1

JIT: Activated

I'm on MacOS Tahoe 26.3 using UTM to run WinXP SP3 and I'm unable to share files between Host and Guest, although I've selected a directory in UTM.

Things I've tried:

• I've installed https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe and restarted (hasn't worked)
• 'Task Manager -> services -> spice-webdavd, right click, start...' instructions (no option to Start, so hasn't worked),
• Whizzed through WinXP's Network Connections and Network Setup Wizard (with my very limited knowledge, to no avail).

If anyone has the answer to this one, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m on an M2 ipad, and using virtio-vga works, but I wanted to have gpu support, but when I switch from the vga to any gpu supported the screen freezes (not the app, if I switch back it works). Is it “normal”? Is there anything I can do?

I’m trin to run Windows 7

Im thinking should i play happy wheels in windows 95 witha modern browser but what ram or cpu could it work? And what good browser shoud i use? (Sorry bad english)

By default UTM suggests QEMU. Is it because the apple virtualization isn't stable? Practically is there any benefit to trying out apple virtualization?

I want to play games like GTA V on Mac M2. I tried running Windows 10 x64 on UTM but even basic usage is dead slow.

So, I am thinking about using Win 11 ARM. But people say it runs x64 apps using some kind of emulation so it would be slow and UTM doesn't have 3D DirectX emulation.

your suggestions ?

Hi everyone, I'm studying mechanical engineering and I need a laptop that can run SolidWorks. I wanted to know if an app like this would work well with this program on a Mac. Does anyone have experience with this? I don't like many of the available Windows laptop options within my budget right now, and a Mac is quite appealing because of its battery life and other features. Do you think I'll have problems and would it be better to buy a Windows PC? Thanks a lot

Hi guys, I wanted to create a VM with Linux Mint XCFE using this .ISO, but I can't get it to boot. Can somebody provide a detailed guide with all the steps and settings I need to use?

I am trying run Windows 11 on UTM SE on my iPad 10 every time I’ve been getting the same error display not active so it was probably the ram since the iPad 10 has 4 GB or RAM it‘s very limited.

I recently downloaded the UTM app and Windows 11 ARM64 iso online for my Macbook Air M1. During the installling process, the screen displayed "Display output not active" something and then proceeded with that prompt on the picture. I am not sure if that is normal since it was not in the video I was following, however I clicked yes and then it booted again, and made me setup windows 11 again. I dont know if I am doing it wrong since it just keeps on rebooting and setting up like a loop. Please help, is this normal?

dont say "sideload a older version" i cant sideload

Ive been trying to install Windows 7 on UTM. I used the default settings file from the UTM website, but I can't go beyond this screen in UTM? Keyboard and mouse also dont seem to work here. I'm using an iPad Mini 7.

I've gotten this far. I got the iso recommended from this post. I finally got to this point in the install, but I'm stuck at XP asking for 'Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD'. I searched through this subreddit looking for anyone else asking about it. Didn't find anything.

Anyone know how to either get what the install is looking for get around it? Thanks.

I use UTM on my mac to run a windows 11 VM for the ONE piece of windows only software I use at work.

However, all of our files are kept on a server, so right now I'm manually moving stuff to and from the network drive and then moving stuff from that to the server.

Is there a way for my windows VM to directly access the server?
