drive file=~/Desktop/QEMU/ubuntu.qcow2,if=virtio \ I first created a qcow2 file like this: qemu-img create -f qcow2 ~/Desktop/QEMU/ubuntu.qcow2 25G I actually managed to get the 'Install Ubuntu' up menu on screen a couple times, but then the cursor wouldn't work for some reason. I also found a rather good tutorial which seemed to suit me well but it doesn't work. I've tried looking at the QEMU's System Emulation User's Guide but I don't really understand it. How can I run Ubuntu 18.04 on my MacBook Air (Mojave) using QEMU? (yes I have to use QEMU for now.) I got QEMU from here.
