Hi team, I am wondering how to let m500 connect QGC in a virtual Ubuntu? I am switching from m1 MacBook to my old MacBook 2014 (amd64), and I use the Parallel virtual machine to host a Ubuntu 20.04. I tried to install a native Ubuntu on the old MacBook, but it's quite difficult to make everything work well (some basic stuff not well supported). So, I had to use a virtual environment. I am trying to build a VOXL development environment and QGC connection for testing as well as viewing. Since Ubuntu uses a shared network (virtual IP like 10.xxx.xx.xx), it seems I couldn't connect QGC in this environment. Instead, I could let m500 connect QGC in macos like 192.xxx.xx.xx, and use virtualenv to ssh it. I am wondering how I could let m500 connect QGC using a virtual IP directly? I am trying to enable the voxl-stream in the virtualenv to view video for testing. Is it possible if I run the RTSP server in the virtualenv, and configure QGC connecting it in the macos? Is it possible to build the VOXL development environment directly on macos, e.g., installing voxl-docker and voxl-emulator? It seems the installation scripts are written for linux-based only, right?

I tried to run voxl-streamer in the virtualenv, but I got this error and no responding: Done installing voxl-streamer voxl-emulator:~$ voxl-streamer Using configuration file /etc/modalai/voxl-streamer.conf Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0xffffffff80685600 Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0xffffffff80685600 ^CGot SIGINT, exiting ERROR: Timeout on input parameter initialization The RTSP server didn't run-up, so I am not sure if voxl-streamer could work well in a virtualenv?
