Installation works fine for macOS Monterey

LiushuiXiaoxia · 2023-06-09T06:51:14Z

me too

singpolyma · 2023-06-09T15:41:04Z

yes, I get this same

meloandrefilipe · 2023-06-09T16:00:46Z

I'm getting the same issue here, already tried on Windows 11 with wsl, last version of Arch Linux and now Ubuntu 23.04. All with the same issue.

djpfs · 2023-06-10T04:27:13Z

same error here, i'm using ubuntu 22.04

LiushuiXiaoxia · 2023-06-14T05:47:00Z

use offline install maby be success.

1: download macos 13, https://mrmacintosh.com/macos-ventura-13-full-installer-database-download-directly-from-apple/

2: clone this repo, https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

3: make ventura img by sh create_dmg_ventura.sh

4: repace BaseSystem.img to Ventura.dmg in OpenCore-Boot.sh

5: ./OpenCore-Boot.sh to install, may be alos fail, just retry

@LiushuiXiaoxia one needs to already be on MacOS to use hdiutil and thus the create_dmg_ventura.sh script

@LiushuiXiaoxia one needs to already be on MacOS to use hdiutil and thus the create_dmg_ventura.sh script

that is the problem.
you can install the old version first, such as macos Monterey

singpolyma · 2023-06-14T14:00:34Z

I tried that, it installs but doesn't boot #668

LiushuiXiaoxia · 2023-06-14T14:11:43Z

I tried that, it installs but doesn't boot #668

I mean, you install macos Monterey at first.

then, download OSX-KVM to create ventura.dmg (on montery )

copy ventura.dmg to linux os,

finally to install ventura on linux os (use osx-kvm, not docker-osx)

I already tried that and it gets past that point but still doesn't boot.

I tried and it was okay,

First you need to get mac_hdd_ng.img by osx-kvm

The second is to launch docker by Docker-OSX，such as

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v "${PWD}/mac_hdd_ng.img:/image" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true \
    -e MASTER_PLIST_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/master/custom/config-nopicker-custom.plist \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:naked

Maybe this step is a failure because the osx-kvm in sickcodes/docker-osx:naked is old

Can you do a complete explanation on how to run that? I think I might be missing steps.

Updating to Ventura from Moajve I can't boot

LiushuiXiaoxia · 2023-06-19T03:07:31Z

I use this project as the ios ci system, so I don't need a gui.

Updating to Ventura from Moajve I can't boot

just reboot ?

The same happens every time I boot, it gets stuck there.

you can not upgrade from Moajve (hackintosh) to Ventura,

ni need create ventura .img in Moajve (macos).
and then use osx-kvm do upgrading (linux).

Thanks for your reply...

I am just stuck at create file Launch.sh
For step2 , it only create LaunchReal.sh, maybe I missed step to create the file?

That leads to the step 3
-v "${PWD}/Launch.sh:/home/arch/OSX-KVM/Launch.sh"
Current Folder, there is no Launch.sh
-v "${PWD}/LaunchReal.sh:/home/arch/LaunchReal.sh" \

Also Step 3 , restart Docker, following command will create a new container
docker run -it \

Any suggestions? Appreciate your help and time. Thanks!

Linux 系统上创建一个空的文件夹，如 test-osx
使用终端进入test-osx 文件夹
正常启动Docker实例，然后从实例中复制 Launch.sh 到本地 Linux 机器上，然后重命名为 ./LaunchReal.sh
docker cp {containerId}:/home/arch/OSX-KVM/Launch.sh ./LaunchReal.sh
在test-osx 文件中，使用终端新建一个 Launch.sh 的文件，并把以下内容复制到文件中

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/arch
git clone --depth 1 --recursive https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM.git OSX-KVM2
cd OSX-KVM2
echo "use new opencore"
cp ../LaunchReal.sh ./LaunchReal.sh
sh LaunchReal.sh

按照以下命令重新启动docker

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v "${PWD}/mac_hdd_ng.img:/image" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \

./OpenCore-Boot.sh

Thanks for the detailed information, I was able to follow your instruction to boot up the system. Thanks again!

stonemaster · 2023-10-18T07:23:30Z

Some notes on how I got Ventura running locally:

I used the OSX-KVM repository following the documentation to install Ventura. I had to use the following tweaks in the provided OpenCore-Boot.sh to get things running:
a. set ALLOCATED_RAM=8192
b. set CPU_CORES=1, CPU_SOCKETS=1 and CPU_THREADS=1 (yep it's going to be slow)
c. and set the CPU to Haswell-noTSX (Penryn is the default)

For some reason in that setup I never could increase the number of cores withouth the VM crashing (or hanging). So I tried it with sickcodes naked image where it works without problems:

Copy resulting mac_hdd_ng.img use nakedinstructions to mount it as per documentation.
a. additionally set environment variable CPU=Haswell-noTSX

Works on fine on my machine(tm)!

EDIT: A few runs later I found out that when my machine booted and had an unstable tsc, multi-core support wouldn't work. Check sudo dmesg -T | grep -i -e tsc -e clocksource which should give clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc. Otherwise a cold boot might help.

Some notes on how I got Ventura running locally:
1. I used the [OSX-KVM repository](https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) following the documentation to install Ventura. I had to use the following tweaks in the provided `OpenCore-Boot.sh` to get things running:
   a. set `ALLOCATED_RAM=8192`
   b. set `CPU_CORES=1`, `CPU_SOCKETS=1` and `CPU_THREADS=1` (yep it's going to be slow)
   c. and set the CPU to `Haswell-noTSX` (`Penryn` is the default)
For some reason in that setup I never could increase the number of cores withouth the VM crashing (or hanging). So I tried it with sickcodes naked image where it works without problems:
2. Copy resulting `mac_hdd_ng.img` use `naked`instructions to mount it as per documentation.
   a. additionally set environment variable `CPU=Haswell-noTSX`
Works on fine on my machine(tm)!

EDIT: A few runs later I found out that when my machine booted and had an unstable tsc, multi-core support wouldn't work. Check sudo dmesg -T | grep -i -e tsc -e clocksource which should give clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc. Otherwise a cold boot might help.

Just set CPU to Haswell-noTSX (Penryn is the default), I can boot into Sonoma! Thanks for your advice.

Some notes on how I got Ventura running locally:

I used the OSX-KVM repository following the documentation to install Ventura. I had to use the following tweaks in the provided OpenCore-Boot.sh to get things running:
a. set ALLOCATED_RAM=8192
b. set CPU_CORES=1, CPU_SOCKETS=1 and CPU_THREADS=1 (yep it's going to be slow)
c. and set the CPU to Haswell-noTSX (Penryn is the default)

Thanks, I couldn't boot the VM untill I set the CPU to 1 core/socket/thread. Hope someone will find a workaround :/

The following settings helped me(ryzen 5 3550h ram:2x8g):
