Reply to autologin required inconsistent for virtualization
I’m glad you got your main issue resolved. Regarding this: [quote='884737022, nathan-pierce-veertu, /thread/822670?answerId=884737022#884737022, /profile/nathan-pierce-veertu'] Opened FB22523292 as suggestion [/quote] Hmmm, the title of that bug is “Support Virtualization without the host having a logged in user”, which makes it about this overall issue. That’s not what I suggested, which was: [quote='884713022, DTS Engineer, /thread/822670?answerId=884713022#884713022'] file an enhancement request for documentation as to what is or isn’t expected to work in [non-GUI] contexts [/quote] The bug you filed is fine in and of itself, but it’s a much harder ‘ask’ than my suggestion, which was about improved documentation. But nevermind, I’ve filed my own bug against the documentation (r. 174993212). Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = eskimo + 1 + @ + apple.com

Reply to Xcode 26.x Frequently Freezes During Breakpoint Debugging with Simulator
@Z_L_Z, @G-null, I want to be clear about what’s going upthread. The folks having this issue are using Rosetta to run the simulator. In my earlier post I made it clear that that’s not a supported configuration. So: If you’re also using Rosetta to run the simulator, I recommend that you stop doing that and see if the problem persists. If you’re not using Rosetta to run the simulator, I recommend that you start a new thread here on the forums with the details of your issue. That’ll ensure that folks reading your thread don’t get distracted by the Rosetta history in this thread.

The good news is that this confirms a theory that was raised during my discussion of your issues with the vmnet team. The bad news is that this is a known limitation of vmnet (FB7731708).

Reply to autologin required inconsistent for virtualization
Virtualization is not daemon safe [1]: % dyld_info -linked_dylibs /System/Library/Frameworks/Virtualization.framework/Versions/A/Virtualization … weak-link /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit … So if you use it from outside of a non-GUI login context you will inevitably encounter some weirdness. I think it’d be reasonable for you to file an enhancement request for documentation as to what is or isn’t expected to work in these contexts. And if you do that, please post your bug number, just for the record. Having said that, I’ve been talking with some folks here and we have a theory as to what might be going on in this specific case. When you log in via SSH, it doesn’t unlock the keychain, and those errors you posted suggest that the keychain is involved. If you manually unlock the keychain, does that help? Specifically: Boot the host Mac without autologin, so there’s no GUI login context. SSH into that Mac. From the SSH session, run this command: % security unlock-keychain password to

Reply to Port forwarding with VZVmnetNetworkDeviceAttachment
I’ve been discussing your issue with the vmnet folks and I think I have a handle on what’s going on here. However, I want to run some things past you before I say anything definitive. Consider this setup: ---+--------+--------- Wi-Fi to Internet | | host Mac X | ---+---+-------------- vmnet | guest VM My understanding is that software running on the host Mac is unable to connect to a server running on the VM via the public port (8000), even though you have forwarding configured in vmnet. Have you tried doing the same from some other machine on the host’s network, so X in this case? Well, using the host Mac’s Wi-Fi IP address, obviously, not using localhost (-: Also, you wrote: [quote='884688022, rbmanian75, /thread/822658?answerId=884688022#884688022, /profile/rbmanian75'] But i found that reaching http://guestip:port worked fine.
