It is common that programmers will need to interface with virtual-machines in their day-to-day workflows, and one popular way of doing so on Linux and Windows systems is with virt-manager.
Is their a way to get virt-manager or a similar alternative running on a MacOS machine?
There's now a brew formula homebrew-virt-manager which I've used to successfully connect to a CentOS 5 box running qemu+kvm.
brew tap jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager
brew install virt-manager virt-viewer
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2
virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://user#libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
sadly no, you can however install virt-manager on a linux box and run it on your mac desktop through vnc and X11.
what you need to do is start X11, open xterm (command + N), type ssh -X user#linux-box, then type virt-manager once logged on.
Same problem here, tried several solutions and workarounds, and found that for managing virtual machines on a remote Qemu/KVM server nothing is as reliable and comfortable than a GNU/Linux system running virt-manager.
Our best solution so far is to install Virtualbox in MacOS to run a Lubuntu LTS system with virt-manager.
We found Lubuntu excellent for this purpose: it just works, it's easy to use and requires few resources to run (it can use less than 300 MB of RAM to run virt-manager and 3-4 SPICE clients). You can save this Virtualbox machine state when you don't need it, and restore it in a few seconds when needed.
Moreover, there's irony in running a virtual machine locally to manage remote virtual machines! :-)
Update
Someone prepared a vagrantfile to quickly setup an Ubuntu virtual machine and run virt-manager via ssh. See:
https://st-g.de/2016/08/virt-manager-in-vagrant
AFAIK no, but you can use it alright if you do this:
install (in the host) the NoMachine NX server
install the NX client on your mac
login from the mac
fix the keyboard issues following these instructions
open virt-manager in the gnome session in your server/host (that you are using via the NX client)
have fun

I have an odd situation here — I need to get a copy of Rosetta (the translation program that let's x86 software run on Apple silicon Macs) onto a Mac that can't connect to the internet (yet). I'm hoping someone knows how to download a .zip of it that I can use a hard drive to port to the internet-less computer.
Kind of a long story, but I recently reformatted an Apple Silicon Mac and used migration assistant to clone a copy of my work setup onto it, only the profiles in this employeer build require activation via the corporate network before you can connect to the internet. Normally this is done via the VPN client that comes pre-installed on their machines, only, I can't run that VPN client because it's x86 and the computer is Apple Silicon... but I can't install Rosetta in order to run it either because I can't connect to the internet.
Thus I need to download Rosetta on another computer, put it on a hard drive, and open it on the first computer. Just can't seem to find a file-copy of Rosetta anywhere is the problem.
Install Rosetta on an Apple Silicon Mac with internet:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
Run the following script to find the installation folder:
grep "RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg" /var/log/install.log
The installation folder path will be something like:
/var/folders/f5/_hdu19hcuin1ckjnqkjcndwkcnadskjnckjqwn/T/OAHSoftwareUpdate/RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg
Go to the installation folder, copy the RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg file and install it on the Mac that is offline.

apologies in advance in case someone answers this already (but looks like have tried everything)
Just build my first pc recently:
AMD® Ryzen 5 3600 6-core processor
ASUS Prime X570-P ATX Motherboard
burn Ubuntu to USB from my MacBook and it's all working fine. ( Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS )
The problem is that I wanna install Windows 10 into PC also.
Have done partition on SSD (have just one SSD + HDD).
But no matter what I try can't seems to install everything right.
It's one of these:
Or pc just can't find my flash drive ( probably something is wrong with the way I burn iso to it)
Or if it does found it I get an error somewhere in the middle of installing, that there is no file for the next step or something like that. ( iso downloaded from Microsoft official page)
I have tried it with various programs (on ios and ubuntu) or even a command line. Even changing settings in BIOS to boot any external drive.
The easy way is to format your Ubuntu partition and install Windows first. Then the Ubuntu installer will automatically detect Windows and and you should be fine.
The hard way is to keep Ubuntu and install Windows. Then you will need to restore grub (Ubuntu's boot loader).
You have to run and install both OS with in (U)EFI mode and adjust some settings in UEFI. This could be the reason for the flashdrive not being found. If you have used tools like Rufus for creation of the bootable USB drive it could also be broken. It is enough to format the flashdrive with FAT32 and copy the contents of the ISO into its root.
Maybe this and this will help

I think it is a hard thing to do as nobody was able to help me, if anyone know how to install atom on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can install it as you would on any Ubuntu - from its README.md:
Debian Linux (Ubuntu)
Atom is only available for 64-bit Linux systems.
Download atom-amd64.deb from the Atom releases page.
Run sudo dpkg --install atom-amd64.deb on the downloaded package.
Launch Atom using the installed atom command.
The thing is - it won't run. Bash on Ubuntu on Windows is highly experimental yet, so graphic applications won't work. I've tried on a VM, and I get a libXss.so not found error. You may be able to fix that issue by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, probably, but you'll hit a bug in the implementation sooner than later.
Anyway, atom runs natively on Windows, so I'm not sure why would you want to install it there.

I have VMware Fusion 5 installed on my Mac, and have software installed on the Windows partition, that for various reasons, I would like to use via the Mac OSX Terminal rather than going through the VMware Fusion GUI of logging into my Windows VM and running command prompt and then running the software. I would prefer it if Terminal could access the windows command prompt of the vm machine, so that I can run the software from my Mac directly. I am happy to have them/would expect the Mac and Windows machines to be running side by side simultaneously.
Is this possible? I.e. can the Mac OSX Terminal access the VM Windows partition command prompt directly? And if so, how would one do this?
I had considered ssh but that seemed long-winded sending data backwards and forwards via the internet given that it is on a local machine and considered that there must be another/smarter alternative...also wasn't really sure it would work ssh'ing into from a Mac to Windows machine...
p.s. Sorry if SO isn't quite the right forum, and that there isn't quite a reproducible example, but have tried to explain the situation carefully to allow the community to help if possible. But if there is a better way to get a solution to my problem by either migrating or suggesting edits to the question that will make it a better question I would be more than happy to do so.
vmrun is the function that needs to be use used. I found it after a bit more searching...so the following will pretty much do the job...
/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun -T fusion -gu <user\ name> -gp <password> runProgramInGuest /Users/<hostUserName>/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/Virtual\ Machines/Boot\ Camp/Boot\ Camp.vmwarevm/Boot\ Camp.vmx -interactive -noWait -activeWindow C:\\Windows\\Notepad.exe C:\\testing.txt

is there a good and comfortable ssh terminal emulation for Windows?
I want to connect to a ubuntu server and work remotely like i can do
with ssh -Y . I am currently using cygwin for this, but it takes up a
lot of space and it lacks some features that would be nice.
tl,dr:
I am looking for a terminal client for windows, that
- does Ssh with Xserver - grafical
- copies files ( works as a ssh client like winssh )
- basically behaves as if i sat before the (ubuntu) computer
I think what you're looking for is VNC and not ssh.
http://www.tightvnc.com/
Reading your requirements, you could consider running cygwin, that will give you the ability to run some Linux programs in Windows, including xterm. As a bonus, you can use bash instead of the normal windows shell.
For SSH you can use putty. To copy files there's WinSCP. To run X programs there's any number of X servers for Windows, like Xming or Exceed. You might also want to use VNC to connect to an existing X session (you need to run a VNC server on your Ubuntu computer and a VNC client on Windows). These are all very different and cannot replace one another.
