QEMU running MX llinux?

Wardaug5? · 07-10-2022, 09:13 PM

I am running MX in QEMU on My 2016 MBP, MX is Awesome but Blue will not work. When I run a status check in CLI, status =Running. How do I get BT actually working?

You'd have to pass the hosts bluetooth hardware to the guest (thus making it impossible to use bluetooth on the host). How to do that on a Mac I haven't the foggiest. Or even if Mac's will ALLOW you to do so.

OK thanks im just playing around with different Distros and didn't realize QEMU wouldn't play with mac hardware.

I don't know that it has anything directly to do with QEMU vs MAC. I think it has to do with settings as already noted.

What is the host OS?
What is the VM OS?

Have you tried doing a pass thru of the bluetooth hardware?

On almost every system, hardware that has been passed into the VM is no longer available for use by the host, which is what was noted above.

Host Mac is 2015 MBP (iris)OS Monterey
VM is QEMU/Mx linux

I watched some YT tutorials and it was for High Serena and lower, but regardless it was why more complicated than I would be able to handle Thankyou for your help I really appreciate it, started using Linux about 2 hrs ago and am wanting to switch over for good but I have to be able to show my wife we can do everything you need to do on Linux.

Host is 2015 MBP OS Monterey
VM is QEMU OS MX Linux also POP OS

I watch a video on passing and I think that is a power user topic which I am not
