UWA week 12 (1st semester, week 4) ↓

labs VM for M-series Mac (all 9)

4:17pm Mon 18th Mar, Henuka D.

WAIT! Less stop!! 👈😭👉

By following the instructions on https://cits3007.github.io/labs/lab01-utm.html, the .box file they get us to download is from the libvirt provider (you can see this by looking at the URL for the box, https://app.vagrantup.com/arranstewart/boxes/cits3007-ubuntu2004/versions/0.1.4/ providers/libvirt/ unknown/vagrant.box). When you download the same file by using the virtualbox provider, you end up with the same files that I have been trying to (unsuccessfully, mind you) convert to the mystical .qcow2 format.

The commands on the lab says to use the provider=virtualbox option (see step 5 on lab 1 and look for vagrant up --provider=virtualbox).

This also leads to the terminal showing up with vagrant@ubuntu2004 instead of the typical vagrant@cits3007-ubuntu2004 as seen on my friends' non Apple silicon devices.

Even if there is 2 different providers, if I continue to use the libvirt environment, will I be penalised if I get some weird incompatibility issues that are caused purely because I was using the libvirt development environment???

This issue has been plaguing me for long enough and I need to make sure I have this environment set up so then I can become familiar with coding within it.

I would love some clarification if we'd be allowed to use the libvirt provider or not for projects have both environments be considered for marking as well. This is because us Apple Silicon device users have literally no other viable path to even being fairly assessed in this unit.

Thanks.

P.S. Apparently none of the Ubuntu lab machines allow for logging in or installation of new packages or whatever due to technical skill issues. 🍜😭
