I just decided to downgrade my whole system to 14 LTS. If I wanted to run a virtual machine, I would just do it in the native OS, which is mac (dual-booted). Anyway, thanks everybody for getting back to me. Now I can use APRS where there is no internet to chase weather balloons, and volunteer at events such as bike races where all stations are transmitting their location through ham radio, and I need to view it on a map where I don't have cellular service.
