The Problems concerning Apple Silicon and Orbstack #1221
Description
Expected/Desired Behavior:
- I use a MacBook Pro m2, and I face the same issue as well.
- I tried to use a VM (in fact, it's Orbstack) of Linux 22.04LTS to solve the problem.
- I use a python virtual environment (.venv) and my python3 version is "Python 3.11.4"
Actual Behavior:
It's still a problem: ( I follow the steps in a python3 venv)
When I follow the steps on download, I met a problem:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libperl5.34 libtiff5 perl-modules-5.34
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

Detailed Steps to Reproduce the Behavior:
Just follow the tutorial on mininet-download and you will face this issue at mininet/util/install.sh -a
Additional Information:
Actually, I do need a version for arm.

I have two main questions:
emdneto commentedon Apr 27, 2024
@root-hbx same issue here. I'm also using orbstack. Did you find any workaround?
root-hbx commentedon May 1, 2024
In fact, Orbstack uses its own Linux kernel which eliminates some functions such as supporting mininet.
So we can not use Orbstack to build mininet topology.(neither the docker nor the VM in Orbstack)
Instead, we have to use other Virtual Machine such as VirtualBox and Parallel Desktop, etc.
