when using os tag like monterey occur error podman run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 docker.io/sickcodes/docker-osx:monterey

but using auto tag is okay

podman run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 docker.io/sickcodes/docker-osx:auto

Is there any solution?

[RichardFevrier]

Same with ventura for me 🙂

[sickcodes]

xhost + Check your display variable I will test the images

[10000-ki]

xhost +

xhost:  unable to open display ""

i found this error message

i think it required x-window mode

[paddymahoney]

Get the same on latest:

Notes:

• in my case, doesn't appear to be a fatal error - qemu boot continues

[10000-ki]

@sickcodes thank you for checking this issue

xhost +

above command It didn't work

Is there any other way?

[bckelley]

I get the same error my only assumption is it's because I'm running an Intel based processor i5-8250U (4) @ 3.4GHz will there be a fix??

[Archisman-Mridha]

I got the same error and i am also running intel based i5 processor.

[lorenzholzbauer]

Try using Xorg and not Wayland. With GNOME you have to log out and search for a little settings wheel, where you have to choose GNOME on Xorg.

I am using windows with docker-desktop and wsl2

[lorenzholzbauer]

Are you for real trying to run a MacOS VM in a Linux VM on a Windows PC? I think WSL doesn't even have Xorg installed by default. You may need to install Xorg. It may be easier to just run a MacOS VM in VirtualBox or something, but I don't know your exact usecase.

XWayLand run just fine on WayLand, many apps use X11 on WayLand. Why here it's a problem? It needs a special configuration?

I have an i5 too

[lorenzholzbauer]

As far as i know it doesn't work with XWayland. It started working after I switched to X11.

[IsraPerez98]

I'm having the exact same problem on Fedora 37 with a Ryzen CPU and X11.

Even after running xhost + I can't get past that error

[IsraPerez98]

Update: adding --privileged to the docker run command fixed the issue.

[TahaOps]

Fixed the issue for me ! Thank you

[bphd]

Update: adding --privileged to the docker run command fixed the issue.

Running as root can't be a viable solution. It's dangerous

[10000-ki]

@sickcodes hi Is there any solution about this problem yet?

[Real-Gecko]

Same issue on Arch Linux, tried everything, tried all available MacOS versions. Any ways to diagnose what's missing?

[Real-Gecko]

Running on Plasma on X

[bphd]

Same issue on Arch Linux, tried everything, tried all available MacOS versions. Any ways to diagnose what's missing?

Searching for what to diagnose since almost a year, but I discussed with the folks of the project and mostly their politic is that you're not worthy of using that project if you don't know how to debug it by yourself, if you're not a master of virtualization, containerization, Mac os, Linux under layers and such. So yeah, since I've just pushed that project back, doing other things, waiting for someone to have the same problem as me that the dev will be willing to help and get the solution from here
