unable to find any master var store for loader

[galtline]

I can still launch from Basic.SH but I am not able to load from Virtual Machine. I followed the directions here:

https://passthroughpo.st/new-and-improved-mac-os-tutorial-part-1-the-basics/#disqus_thread

When I start the Virtual machine from VMM.

I was having the same problem but I figured it out. For some reason, git cloning the repo does not include OVMF_VARS-1024x768.fd. Downloading the file and moving it into the firmware directory fixed the problem.

i'm having the same problem and the file "OVMF_VARS-1024x768.fd" exists but the error is still there

Had this same problem. Manjaro Linux on a Ryzen 3600X. One entire SSD for it. At this point I will just leave it.

My error message specified $HOME/OSX-KVM/OVMF_CODE.fd which didn't exist because I didn't git clone under $HOME. I moved symlinked to the correct directory and the error went away.

Is there any way of setting the expected directory?

i had same issue i ended up editing the xml file finding all the entries with $HOME/OSX-KVM/ with whatever dir my files are in. Hope this makes sense.

You might be able to fix this by using sudo ./make.sh --add instead of ./make.sh --add

Thank you very much!

First foxlet thank you for your hard work going into this. Second, i could trigger this bug when using virt-manager. If you delete the virtual machine added via sudo ./make --add the and allow virt-manager to delete all files the 'OVMF_VARS-1024x768.fd' gets deleted too - even it's not listed for deletion. Hope it helps a bit.

[notAperson535]

@cilahn I wouldn't let virt-manager delete the files

[fredericodevbtw]

This fixed the error for me, thanks @cilahn!
