Prox­mox Set­up and Ma­cOS In­stal­la­tion

Great man­u­al pro­vid­ed by i12bretro which I've used to in­stall Ma­cOS 13 Ven­ture:

Cur­rent­ly I'm us­ing Spice/​​​QXL for dis­play dri­ver. Note there is not Ma­cOS guest tool avail­able and this is the rea­son we can't change the res­o­lu­tion with­in the guest. We can set dif­fer­ent res­o­lu­tions with­in the Open­Core EFI set­tings by the fol­low­ing steps (as ref­er­ence see the sec­tion Con­fig­ur­ing Boot­ing With­out Open­Core Mount­ed from the man­u­al cit­ed above).

  • Use Moun­tE­FI and mout the EFI.
  • Use the MacOS's file man­ag­er and nav­i­gate to the mount­ed EFI par­ti­tion.
  • Ed­it the file EFI/OC/config.plist – find and mod­i­fy the fol­low­ing <string> di­rec­tive, note on­ly one res­o­lu­tion will be ac­cept­ed and the fall­back res­o­lu­tion is 1280x800@32:
    <key>Resolution</key>
<string>1920x1080@32</string>

    <string>1280x960@32</string>

    <string>1280x960@16</string>

Cur­rent­ly I couldn't able to set­up any au­dio de­vice for my Ma­cOS guest, but I need at least dum­my sound be­cause oth­er­wise flash videos and HTML5 videos fails in Sa­fari and I'm ac­tu­al­ly do­ing this set­up for brows­er com­pat­i­bil­i­ty tests of a web page. So the workarounds I've found are the fol­low­ing:

  • In­stall team Team View­er Host ap­pli­ca­tion (or the full ap­pli­ca­tion) it will set an

I'm at­tach­ing an USB Blue­tooth via the Linux's Spice client that is at­tached to the Ma­cOS guest, hen I'm us­ing this Blue­tooth to at­tach au­dio de­vice, thus I'm hav­ing au­dio via SPICE. I'm need­ing it, be­cause oth­er­wise the videos in the Sa­fari brows­er are not playable, but I'm ac­tu­al­ly need that for brows­er com­pat­i­bil­i­ty tests of a web page.
