Convert bootable DMG images for use in VMware Fusion
Version 3 removes support for python2. You'll need to make sure python3 is installed on your Mac.
Options for installing python3:
/usr/bin/python3
).$PATH
.Updated to add an argument --disk_type
Fixes issue where vmware-vdiskmanager
would crash due to a volume that wasn't mounted. Thanks to @zhaokai-vm for the fix!
Fusion 11.5 is out, so this release removes the beta bits.
Added to vmx:
board-id.reflectHost = "FALSE"
This keeps the VM from trying to use TouchID.
Fixes #59 where if a volume already existed at /Volumes/Recovery, vfuse would fail to figure itself out.
Bug fixes
This release:
qemu-img
works for converting the dmg)vmware-vdiskmanager
Fusion 11's tools don't seem to recognize the catalina dmg so use the qemu-img option.
This release brings full support for Fusion 11 on the vfuse side:
darwin18-64
instead of lying and claiming to be darwin17-64
which we were doing during the beta phase.If you do not have Fusion 11 installed, and you install this version of vfuse, you'll want to pass --hw-version 14
, or add that key to your templates.
For Fusion 11 users:
Note, that this issue still persists with Fusion 11, so if you are not using one of the workarounds mentioned here then you'll want to stick with 2.0.8 for the time being.
