Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/531

Installing MacOS on my ryzen 7 5700g got an error “This operation could not be completed .pkdownloaderror 8”
I can also see an error “OSIDownloadOperation Ial update found”. Is there any fix for that.

Use the pre installed image, no issues with that.

I have the same issue.
PKDownloadError error 8
I use ubuntu 20.04LTS to run docker and build Ventura.

When erasing ~200GB disk, I chose format Journald, was this matter?

@YtachY Looks more like a network issue to me as it’s solved using pre installed image

Using disk utility you can choose your format either Journald, APFS

I ended up resolving this by completely removing my PiHole AdGuard setup from my home network. Even though I had tried configuring it to allow all requests from my server, I guess it was somehow still failing to handle some requests. Posting in case it helps anyone else.

Sorry dude, I have no idea about M series arch.
Btw, I have been facing the issue, not the solution. I skipped it.
