Whonix on Mac M1 (ARM) - User Support (still unsupported at time of writing)

Is there anyway to make the sparse file normal size?

362

Convert sparse to non-sparse? Possible but then you’d waste space. Why would you want this?

What’s normal size?

What’s the issue you trying to solve?

363

I’m trying to convert the whonix gateway and whonix workstation utm file which is 107gb each atm to a non-sparse utm file so I can store it in my hard drive on the MacBook instead of a sd card. So I can utilise the FDE. With the current form of the utm images it takes up all of the space on the hardrive. I only have 256gb. So when I put the images on hardrive all the space is taken up. When I followed the build guide, after it finished the files were 107gb. I know that they are usually much much less, 1-2Gb or something like that.

What can I do to resolve this issue.

The normal size of the whonix images I meant, for example on a virtual box download the images are small.

Does this make sense?

I need to convert whonix utm images from their apparent size of 107g to the real size, so I can store it on my hard drive

364

Try to find some Mac support who can tell you how to use sparse files or some image format on Mac that supports sparse files.

365

Build command append for 25 GB size:

--vmsize 25G

Or some other number.

366

Thanks for this, this has solved the problem, i have another problem with whonix gateway, everytime i reboot the vm the time is off i have to manually fix it every time.

So boot then run system check and get this error

Possible issues:

  • sdwdate will need a few more moments for fetching the time.
  • sdwdate time sources might be dysfunctional.

Recommendations:

A) Rerun systemcheck:
Start Menu → System → systemcheck
or in Terminal: systemcheck
or more verbose in Terminal: systemcheck --verbose --gui --cli

B) Restart sdwdate.
Start Menu → System → sdwdate-gui → right click on sdwdate-gui systray → Restart sdwdate
or in Terminal: sudo service sdwdate restart

C) Manually set the time.

As last resort…

  1. Open a terminal. (Start Menu → System → Terminal)
  2. Use the manual clock setting tool.
    sudo --set-home clock-random-manual-gui
  3. Simulate sdwdate success.
    sudo -u sdwdate touch /run/sdwdate/first_success
  4. Rerun systemcheck.

once this is done it works but then after reboot i have to repeatr this. anyway to fix this?

367

Host clock too fast?

368

Host clock seems to be accurate? Im on macbook air m2 not sure what i can do?

369

The gate way and work station are showing different times too gateway is 1 hr ahed of hostclock time and wrokstation is 2 hr ahead

370

Please read this about UTC:
Post-installation Security Advice chapter Network Time Syncing in Whonix wiki

371

sorry i should of rephrased that, i am aware of what you sent, what i meant was does the wg and ws neet to be the same time? as in in sync or can they vary. Also with the systemcheck clock issue. What can i do fix this? shall i change the country of the host clock or server?

372

There might be an issue that the initial clock setting of the VM because the VM initially gets the time from the host. The issue could be in the VM configuration files.

There’s no utm file for Kicksecure yet:

https://github.com/Kicksecure/libvirt-dist/tree/master/usr/share/kicksecure-utm/Kicksecure.plist

I don’t know how clock can be configured with qemu / utm. Could even be a bug for the virtualizer on that platform.

So this needs development, there’s no contributor working on this, hence unsupported. So most likely won’t be fixable.

Not exactly the same but in most cases at the same hour.

This is weird and that’s why I wrote above in this post.

373

Not a Whonix specific issue most likely.

Any similar .plist file would likely cause the same issue with other operating systems such as Debian too. This needs to be investigated as per Generic Bug Reproduction.

374

Okay thank you, i appreciate it, i will manually update everyboot.

Is there anyway to changed the networking mode for whonix on apple silicon “UTM”. I have a VPN on the host OS and I do not want whonix to connect to the hosts VPN. Aim is to connect whonix directly to clearnet is this possible?

I suggest to remove the Whonix specific part of the question and widen your search.

You basically want to ask:

How to exclude a UTM VM from a host VPN on mac?

Since UTM is based on QEMU…

How to exclude QEMU VM from a host VPN on mac?

And since QEMU is also a normal application… Even this might work…

How to exclude an application from a host VPN on mac?

This is unspecific to Whonix.

Will adding this to the plist configuration file effect the special networking that is preconfigured?

I did what you said and tried to figure out how to avoid whonix gateway avoid the host is VPN. Utm needs to be put in to bridged mode so it can connect directly to the default network adaptor.
