Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/680

As title says, if I run the command verbatim from the docs:

wget https://images2.sick.codes/mac_hdd_ng_auto.img
    
docker run -it \    
    --device /dev/kvm \                     
    -p 50922:10022 \                  
    -v "${PWD}/mac_hdd_ng_auto.img:/image" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \                                                                                        
    -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true \ 
    -e MASTER_PLIST_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/master/custom/config-nopicker-custom.plist \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:naked

It boots up, I see the boot loader go and some text, and then I get a blank screen. No input does anything. I also tried with VNC. Using the OS-base containers work fine, like :latest and :high-sierra. But when I try this or when I try to extract the .img files from any of them and use one of those, I just get this blank black screen.

Here's a log of the output of the docker run command (i hope there's no sensitive info in there heh)

Looks like if I remove the option: -e MASTER_PLIST_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/master/custom/config-nopicker-custom.plist, it works fine. Is this just something I need more configuration for?

Same issue here. Thanks @gabeklavans your workaround works for me too, but I have no idea why.

My system is Ubuntu 22.04 on AMD Athlon 3000G.

I can confirm that @gabeklavans workaround works for me too.
