VM Troubleshooting

Wrong download

Use the install page that matches your computer:

Computer	Page
Mac with Apple Silicon	macOS Apple Silicon
Mac with Intel	macOS Intel
Windows with Intel or AMD	Windows x86
Windows with ARM	Windows ARM
Linux with Intel or AMD	Linux x86

Not enough storage

Make sure your computer has at least 30 GB of free storage for the VM download and import.

Virtualization disabled

On Intel or AMD hosts, enable hardware virtualization in BIOS or firmware settings if the VM app reports that virtualization is unavailable.

Host access

The VM works from its desktop without host networking. SSH, VNC, and noVNC need port forwarding in the VM app.

Host port	Guest port	Use
2222	22	SSH
5901	5901	VNC
6080	6080	Browser desktop

SSH:

ssh -p 2222 beaver@localhost

Password:

works

noVNC:

http://localhost:6080/
