Mac Virtual Machine On Linux



Meet Apple Silicon. UTM employs Apple's Hypervisor virtualization framework to run ARM64 operating systems on Apple Silicon at near native speeds. On Intel Macs, x86/x64 operating system can be virtualized. In addition, lower performance emulation is available to run x86/x64 on Apple Silicon as well as ARM64 on Intel. Virtualbox has the option for a MacOS virtual machine in it’s New VM dialog, but we will need to make further adjustments to make it truly Mac-ready. Pop open Virtualbox, and Create a new Virtual Machine. Name this MacOS Mojave, and set it to Mac OS X (64-bit).

Question or issue on macOS:

I’m using Mac and I’ve installed debian linux on virtual box.
I want to copy a URL from my Mac to terminal linux in virtual box. How can I do that?

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

Sometimes, it’s just easier to open a terminal on the Mac and then SSH to the VirtualBox guest. That avoids a lot of the hassle of changing focus, etc.

Solution no. 2:

I just had the same problem. After making sure Clipboard Sharing is on, Ctrl+Shift+V to paste into the terminal in debian.

Solution no. 3:

I just wrote up a guide to getting copy-and-paste working between OS X and Ubuntu on VirtualBox as it had been frustrating me. Maybe of help to someone who comes across this question:

Solution no. 4:

First
Install Guest Additions CD (Devices->Insert Guest Additions CD image).

Activate clipboard sharing
Then after a reboot, in Virtualbox go to Machine->Settings->General->Advanced and set
Shared Clipboard: Bidrectional

Change VirtualBox Host Key
In Vitualbox/Preferences/Input/Virtual Machine/Host Key Combination
choose sth different then ⌘

Key Mapping:
For the cmd/ctrl mapping for me adding the English (Macintosh) keyboard seems to be the most comfortable solution 🙂

Go to Ubuntu Settings->Text Entry
(I guess in older versions it might be in Keyboard Layout Settings)
Under Input sources to use: hit plus (+)
add English (Macintosh)

Linux

I’m on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64bit in VirtualBox 5.0.4

Solution no. 5:

I’ve put together a page describing how to do this

The short version is that you can do this using AppleScript and a custom keyboard shortcut.

AppleScript:

This script is also useful for defeating password fields which foolishly prevent pasting.

Solution no. 6:

I use ubuntu from my windows machine with virtualbox connected with PuTTY, FileZilla etc.

(Not using default virtualbox console)

Here is how you can setup yours from scratch:

Hope this helps!
