For anyone having issues with "sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop", try running "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop^", it worked for me (there is no "tasksel" in the command and make sure to add the "^" at the end)
tasksel library literally just enables gui it's not needed in this instance. Your way is the traditional way to install ubuntu desktop and I'd recommend it over tasksel across the board.
Q: "I'm getting Debian GUI instead of ubuntu. Anyone can help?" A: Okay, for everyone who get Debian GUI instead of ubuntu, here is a solution. In Debian GUI, open a terminal, and run the command: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop after success installation run: sudo reboot and that's it. Ubuntu GUI will appear
bruh i wish i found this comment 2hrs ago, I just deleted the vm and created a new one with ubuntu 20.04.4 adm instead of arm (i use a mac m1)and had to create another one with an arm version , it gave an error when i gave the command sudo apt install tasksel. so i deleted it again and created another vm with 22.04.1. it is 2:47am now and i just found the comment anyways thanks mate.
i had also to change disk image cd/dvd to disk image on the other disk if someone is stuck as well, but thanks man was so helpfull in the installation for me
Worth noting: the cores you reserve for UTM will be 100% loaded no matter the real load at UTM. That means your nice and normally cool mac M1 will be super warm and take a big hit on the battery. And it might also be bad for the hardware in long term use. I had high expectations for UTM but have now realized that I will not be able to use it for my development because of this extreme cpu load problem.
This is strange. I've recently installed Windows 11 ARM64-build on M1 Air. It was hot like a frying pan during installation (especially near F1 - F12 buttons) but after booting into system mac was doing fine, temperatures dropped and the Windows UI was responsive. BTW, in UTM I selected 4 cores with 4GB of ram. I think there is a bug in UTM linux virtualization that prevents of cores sleeping.
guys, if u are stucked on login page you can try to click on the settings button which exists on bottom right corner when u click your name to enter your password and try to choose ubuntu xorg (or something like that I am not sure) instead of ubuntu. let me know if it worked for u guys.
Doesn't work, after installing and rebooting the login screen shows up but I'm just stuck in an infinite login loop and eventually the whole VM will freeze
Ok so idk wtf happend , I did all the steps and my pc did a very weird sound , it was like some very loud tapping inside of my computer, after that everything crashed (the pc still works just fine I just don’t know what happend)
for me when It reaches the final stage that is when we can view the log files even after 30 mins it doesn't give me the option to reboot? what possible solutions could be there to this issue
Once the installation and setup is successful, what will be the best way to stop / shut down the VM? "Shut down" from within the running VM, or from UTM "stop"?
Thanks. It worked great for me. However I can not share a folder. After selecting "Spice Client Folder" it appears the error "Unable to access location. HTTP Error: Could not connect: Connection refused". Can you help me with this? Thanks again
Thank you very much for the video. Everything is set. But, unfortunately, I have problems with the network. Neither wired nor wireless internet is connected. Please tell me what can be done?
Shout out to @MoodyCodes for caring. My problem was an out of date UTM, the site doesn't really indicate what the current version is nor does the current version have an 'check for updates' feature. I am now running Version 3.2.4 (58), and I have installed both Ubuntu and Fedora without issue. The only thing to remember, for Ubuntu it seemed, is to disconnect the ISO installation image with the 'clear' option on the image dropdown before restarting. It runs great now.
When I type sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop the purple screen appears, but it gives me this error: apt-get failed. Though I'm using the 20.4 Ubuntu Version. What I can do to solve this issue?
I don't know what happened but after entering password it's won't start nd asking password again, nd again... Same thing happened when I used Kali Linux. Is there any problem with VM or Linux?
Thanks! It may be that your VM might not recognize the changed network and needs its DNS set to manual to it can continue to work on any network. phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-dns-nameservers
When I download the IS ofrom Ubuntu, the .iso extension is missing, I had to rename the file to put it back. Then, after following this (and many other failed attempts), it boots, I select 'Install Ubunt..' and all I get, every single time, I must have tried at least a dozen solutions, all I ever get is a stuck text cursor in the top left of the window. That's it. Never ends. I have found SimpleVM which I will try instead.
@@MoodyCodes Hi, thanks for asking! I've tried everything I can think of. I have now settled for using Multipass coupled with Microsoft Remote Desktop and it's pretty much perfect. Multipass is an absolutely fantastic solution for virtualised Ubuntu on M1 macs. However, the deep rooted(!) hacker part of me would still like to know what's going wrong. I suspect it has something to do with network connections because when I looked at the debug log, it said something about a socket connection timeout but I deleted it all, closed UTM in disgust and haven't been back since! For now I will work with multipass and rd, it's pretty good if a little laggy despite being on the same machine. I def. think it has something to do with a network card, I was using the default of virtio-net-pci, I tried a few Intel card options but no joy. That's all I can say about it right now, but again, thanks for asking.
@@seancharles1595 haha we have all been there dude, Plus you have brought up an exciting solution, ill make sure to check it up. I've been working on ubuntu with parallels for the past 5 months and it's beyond fantastic. I'll try to make a video about it or even ubuntu on UTM vs Parallels kinda video. oh and thanks for stopping by and taking the time to share dude. appreciate it
@@MoodyCodes I was a little dismayed to realise Parallels requires an *annual renewal* so Multipass and RDP is a good free solution. Also, for closure, I did resolve my issues bu upgrading UTM to Version 3.2.4 (58) as I pointed out in my most recent post. For the record, if I can find time, I will try to download UTM source code and see if I can add a 'Check for later version' feature or something!
Hey Kaushik, this is not essential to make it work it’s only to show the hidden message. But you can try shift or CTRL f1 as in my other mac option didn’t work for me either but CTRL did. And pay attention to fn key cuz sometimes the f1,f2.. buttons don’t work without it.
Kaushik you can eject the disk from UI . As soon as you you see the blinking cursor , you can choose eject from the top right by clicking on Drive image options icon. Then do a reboot by clicking on the reboot icon
