my goal is to prvoide a browser based remote control solution for VZVirtualMahineView. So that user can connect to vms from anywhere. i am almost done with this. I think i have to live with this limitation Every web-based remote desktop solution (VNC web clients, NoMachine web, etc.) has this exact same limitation. the mac os host assigned shortcuts takes precedence over web browser key press event. we cant do anything about this. pressing the fn key with f1, f2, f3 sends key codes correctly. there is no probem with this. if it is reserved by mac os(ex. cmd + space, F11 etc) it takes precedance over browser. we have to live with this limitation. thanks for your help so far.

Actually, come to think of it, rbmanian75’s All Posts page currently reads like a Virtualization FAQ (-: The reason for it is obvious to bring this app to https://apps.apple.com/us/app/virtualprog-virtual-machine/id6744131218?mt=12 to mac app store. sorry for shameless self promo.

Thank you for the reply. it seems to be that SCScreenshotManager does not work when the display sleeps. but this one window.contentView.bitmapImageRepForCachingDisplay works. but i have a problem with the later one. i am trying take the screenshot of VZVirtualMachineView window when vm is GUI based it i am gettting the screenshot correctly but when the vm is console based i am getting black image. is there any workaround for this?

My situation is only the display sleeps the system is not sleeping the app is running it is a http server and i can access the pages served by the mac os app. but when the app tries to take screenshot when the display sleeps it is not working. this is my scenario.

Just to answer my own question now it is possible to do this with macOS 26 with custom vmnet network.

Apple asked me to use cgevent like this guard let cgEvent = CGEvent(mouseEventSource: nil, mouseType: .rightMouseDown, mouseCursorPosition: cgPoint, mouseButton: .right) else { return } // Create the synthetic NSEvent from the CGEvent. guard let event = NSEvent(cgEvent: cgEvent) else { return } virtualMachineView.rightMouseDown(with: event)

Apple provided solution to this problme via feedback assistant and it worked like a charm.

D’oh, I meant VZLinuxBootLoader. Sorry about the confusion. I am not using kernel boot image which needs VZLinuxBootLoader. i use VZFIBootloader() for running gui based linux vms like ubuntu and boot from iso and install the linux.

Here is the bug number FB22727902

It is not about knowing linux. It is about booting from iso. When no linux is installed vm boots from iso. It would be nice if There is a possibility of booting from the same ISO even after the installation to the hard disk. Boot priority selection would be a nice addition to the virtulization framework.

Any update on this whether mac os 27 will have this feature?

Thank you for the reference i tired it and it worked like a charm.

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I was able to solve the problem. The problme is not becuase of deduplicated_symbols. I had some data race conditions modifying published vars from different threads rather than on main thread. Now it is fixed.

[quote='884854022, DTS Engineer, /thread/822658?answerId=884854022#884854022'] The bad news is that this is a known limitation of vmnet (FB7731708). [/quote] I think i need to wait for the fix. however i released my app with this limitation. Hoping that it will be fixed soon. How can i track the bug myself. because i cant access the feedback you have mentioned
