I'm trying to run macOS Monterey (my host system is running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS), and I get the following error message when I try to power on the virtual machine:

Error starting domain: operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /home/lnik/Desktop/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM-master/firmware/OVMF_CODE.fd

Traceback (most recent call last):

libvirt.libvirtError: operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /home/lnik/Desktop/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM-master/firmware/OVMF_CODE.fd

I'm guessing did something wrong, but I can't figure out what... I followed the installation instructions word-for-word. I also made sure I have the newest iteration of OVMF_CODE.fd

@tiredsemanticist try downloading this into your firmware folder and tell me if it works. If it does not, you could also try running the VM as sudo to see what happens.

@notAperson535 I tried both and only got halfway to a solution. Had to rename that file to OVMF_VARS.fd to get virt-manager to acknowledge it, and then the machine powered on... Unfortunately, there's no installer option in OpenCore even though I made sure that all the correct hardware has been added to the virtual machine. Running as sudo makes no difference

1000% willing to believe that I'm doing something wrong, I just haven't been able to figure out what. 😅
