I'm trying to install a Linux virtual machine on a macOS Monterey 12.4 to take some courses on Udemy and I'm having a problem. I leave a link with a series of images (they may or may not be useful, but I leave it anyway).

enter image description here

The last print shows the login to which it does not go beyond. The steps I followed were from here. This guide is designed to only work with installing Ubuntu on Apple Silicon Macs.

I used UTM virtual machine software for Mac.

VMware Fusion 13 Player for Apple Silicon enables users to run Ubuntu Desktop (and Ubuntu Server) in a virtual machine that uses all the capability of the Apple M series processors' powerful integrated GPU to deliver near native performance on Apple silicon.

Fusion Player offers a Personal Use License, available for free with a valid CustomerConnect account. Home users, open source contributors, students, and anyone else can use Fusion Player free for non-commercial activity.

You can install an Ubuntu Server guest OS on an Apple silicon computer, and then install the complete ubuntu-desktop task in Ubuntu Server by running the following command:

sudo apt install 'ubuntu-desktop^'

Here are some additional tips for installing an Ubuntu desktop using VMware Fusion 13 player for macOS.

  • Use the Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS ARM64 ISO to install an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine.
  • After the installation of Ubuntu 22.04 is finished convert the Ubuntu Server using the tasksel program which can be installed by sudo apt install tasksel. Install the Ubuntu desktop task by selecting it with the space key in tasksel and remove every server task that you don't want to keep.
  • Install the open-vm-tools-desktop package in Ubuntu with sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop.
  • You may need to disable kernel updates in Ubuntu.
  • You may need to adjust the VM's settings to improve performance, especially the graphics performance which is great in macOS but in Ubuntu YMMV.
