VMs can't boot with Network Mode set to Bridged on Apple M5 Pro machines
TL;DR
VMs on Apple M5 Pro machines fail to boot when Network Mode is set to 'Bridged', while they work with 'Host Only' or 'Extended'. This issue affects users trying to run Ubuntu 24.04.4.
✦ Why It Matters
Consider using 'Host Only' or 'Extended' modes for VMs on M5 Pro until the issue is resolved.
Key Takeaways
- Test VMs with 'Host Only' or 'Extended' modes as a workaround.
- Monitor for updates from UTM regarding the Bridged mode issue.
- Report any additional findings to the UTM support community.
- Consider alternative virtualization solutions if the issue persists.
Full Summary
Users have reported that virtual machines (VMs) on Apple M5 Pro devices cannot boot when the Network Mode is configured to 'Bridged'. Testing was conducted using the latest Ubuntu 24.04.4 live server image, which successfully boots under 'Host Only' or 'Extended' modes.
The issue arises during the boot process, where the VM remains stuck on the loading screen without crashing. The testing was performed using UTM version 4.7.5 on macOS version 26.3.1.
Unfortunately, the debug log option does not appear, preventing further analysis of the problem. This limitation could hinder developers and researchers relying on networked VMs for their work.
