@orgazmer you are installing from jeffreywildman repository. Try: brew remove virt-manager brew remove virt-viewer brew untap jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager

and run

brew tap Krish-sysadmin/homebrew-virt-manager brew install virt-manager virt-viewer

[krishjainx]

@jresteban yes, thanks for helping orgazmer out. Perhaps more people should star my fork so it comes first in search results so people don't face this issue in the first place

@Krish-sysadmin getting an install error on both forks related to a dependency on "intltool"

tried running: brew install intlool but no luck as it doesn't seem to available anywhere. Wondering if you've tested your fork on a fresh installation of macOS within the past week. So far I'm getting this on all of my new ones. thanks!

[krishjainx]

Yes, I have tested it on a fresh installation of macOS catalina and big sur like 5 days back and neither have I or my users faced any problem. Mind attaching a screenshot showing what you are running as well as telling me what macos version you are on? @MurlengNik Happy to help!

[DUOLabs333]

Whenever I try to run it, it returns a segmentation fault. This is on Big Sur M1.

[orgazmer]

Whenever I try to run it, it returns a segmentation fault. This is on Big Sur M1.

i have the same problem!

[krishjainx]

I don't use M1 mac so can't reproduce the error. Sorry

@slamdev @DaveB91 you need to update libvirt-python to newest version, take a look: https://github.com/radoslaw-karasinski-sauce/homebrew-virt-manager

[krishjainx]

@slamdev @DaveB91 Yup, use https://github.com/Krish-sysadmin/homebrew-virt-manager . This is maintained actively by me. Just been AFK for a bit!

[DaveB91]

Thanks @Krish-sysadmin - Works now Now.. Anyone know how I can open a .vv file with this?

[krishjainx]

Launch Automator, and click on a New project

Use the Type "Application"

Search for "shell" on the left hand side, and drag the "Run shell script" entry to the right

Use the following:

/usr/local/bin/remote-viewer "$@"

Save this as say ~/Applications/oVirt-Console.app

Now, the security policy of a Mac won't let you run this app made by an "untrusted developer", so in Finder, locate the .vv file, and then hold down the Control key. With the Control key pressed, click on the .vv file, and then right click, open with, look for the .app file you just made, and check the "Always Open With" checkbox in the bottom of the dialog. This took a couple of tries for it to work for me, so also try launching the file with the control key pressed, and selecting your .app file.

Finally, in Chrome, after clicking on the Console button in oVirt, keep the downloaded file somewhere, and then click on the small downwards arrow on the list of downloads on the bottom, and select "Always open files of this type".

After this, from now on, it should launch remote-viewer immediately after clicking on the console button. @DaveB91

@Krish-sysadmin I am unable to open .vv file using the steps that you mentioned. Once I open it via the ~/Applications/oVirt-Console.app, it asks me to enter the connection address again. Not sure what's the problem. Can you please help?

[krishjainx]

@sidd-satish Try running virt-manager <path/to/.vv file> and let me know how that goes

[sidd-satish]

@Krish-sysadmin This is the error I am getting

Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Unhandled command line options '['/Users/siddharth/Downloads/pve-spice.vv']'

[DaveB91]

FWIW, I couldn’t get it working either. I just use virt-viewer in CrossOver now.

[david9991]

Whenever I try to run it, it returns a segmentation fault. This is on Big Sur M1.

Same here.

[krishjainx]

I believe this is associated with an erroneous system call. I believe virt-manager itself does not support M1.

[david9991]

This is the cause of the crash on M1. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/issues/455

[krishjainx]

Did you fix it? @david9991

[david9991]

Did you fix it? @david9991

No, I don't know much about gobject-introspection. :)

[Damenly]

Did you fix it? @david9991

There was PR for gobject-introspection already. However, two months passed, gnome guys seem to care only what they care. For m1(arm64), my repo works:

@Krish-sysadmin Using your fork worked perfectly for the installation, however, whenever I try to connect to a remote VM with remote-viewer, it just shows a black screen. Somehow it seems to be connected though, because the cursor changes appearance when I hover over the fields where the login prompt in the VM should be

@phlobbi Hi, if I had more time on my hands I would love to help you out, but I don't right now, but I will soon. If you want, feel free to fork my fork and then fix the issue. I ran some tests and it doesn't seem excruciatingly hard to fix. Good luck! As of right now I don't have access to a mac machine and tend to stay on Linux so not sure I am the best person to ask. Thanks for the feedback
