Blank screen on boot (Intel UHD 650)

[krish1010]

First and foremost, excellent work, huge respect for that. I am facing a blank screen issue on VM startup.

I have closely followed all the required steps. When I SSH into my host, I can see the VM successfully running by the list command.

I have Intel UHD 650 integrated graphics. My host is Ubuntu, while guest is MacOS, from the simple KVM project. Any help is hugely appreciated.

Thanks.

I do not know if this is going to help or not, anyway, pasting the latest log.
