Doesn't do anything. I have it working with this disabled.

--privileged is what fixed the issue. But prolly should.

I just tried out docker osx but have been getting the same result in a arch linux based distro.

...
alsa: Reason: No such file or directory
audio: Could not create a backend for voice `adc'
gtk initialization failed

I tried this on Wayland, it wasnt enough.

docker run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp -e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=($env.WAYLAND_DISPLAY) -e DISPLAY=:0 -v $"($env.XDG_RUNTIME_DIR)/($env.WAYLAND_DISPLAY)":/tmp/($env.WAYLAND_DISPLAY) -e QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland -e GDK_BACKEND=wayland -e CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true -e CPU='Haswell-noTSX' -e CPUID_FLAGS='kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on' -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom-sonoma.plist' -e SHORTNAME=sequoia sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

ps: $env is due to me using nushell.

Then I tried on X11

docker run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true -e CPU='Haswell-noTSX' -e CPUID_FLAGS='kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on' -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom-sonoma.plist' -e SHORTNAME=sequoia sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

And the same result.

Edit:

I needed to fix the DISPLAY variable to work with nushell. Now it works on X11.

But not on Wayland, which is the one I wanted it to work.

Since --privileged was not necessary here, it doesnt make sense why it should on Wayland, so, maybe the issue is elsewhere.

I rather not try with --privileged, but not sure what else can be done based on the suggestions from this issue thread and others.

I needed to fix the DISPLAY variable based on nushell. Now it works on X11.

But not on Wayland, which is the one I wanted it to work.

Since --privileged was not necessary here, it doesnt make sense why it should on Wayland, so, maybe the issue is elsewhere.

I rather not try with --privileged, but not sure what else can be done based on the suggestions from this issue thread and others.

What happens if you use bash with the original docker command? Same issue?

Nice suggestion, it worked with bash. Maybe I set a variable wrongly which gave the wrong result with nushell.

Thanks.

Though, after minimizing the QEMU window, in the setup part, it came back as blackscreen.

Found what I did wrong in the nushell script, these two were set wrongly.

-e $"WAYLAND_DISPLAY=($env.WAYLAND_DISPLAY)" -v $"($env.XDG_RUNTIME_DIR)/($env.WAYLAND_DISPLAY):/tmp/($env.WAYLAND_DISPLAY)"

This is the correct way, and it works.

Nice. I mainly use fish and tend to have issues with bash CMDs/scripts.
