According to this source who had the same problem you can follow these steps and see if it works:
Reboot to safe mode, here are the steps.
Delete this file "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist"
Switch off iCloud authentication and revert to local authentication.

I had the same issue with 10.13 High Sierra
Editing my VMX file (Documents/Virtual Machines/MacOS/MacOS.vmx) to include:
virtualHW.version = "10"
Fixed it for me.

macOS terminal fails to login

After installing macOS Big Sur beta my terminal behaves weirdly.
If I start terminal after PC restart I can start terminal just fine, however if I close it and try to start again I find myself at blank terminal saying "login".
I get the same problem with iTerm and native Terminal.
I'm having this issue as well.
This discussion from the Apple Developer Forums explains the issue and the solution.
Found the trigger, it's an iTerm2 thing.
Disable Enable session restoration under Preferences > Advanced > Session, after that you shouldn't have a problem.
Raised an issue with iTerm's developers. Not sure if there's something here on the OS side as well.
I had this issue on Mojave as well, both on iTerm and Terminal. The solution was to restart my machine.

Keyboard Not Captured on VirtualBox OS X

I have installed El Capitan on Virtual Box 5.1.28. However, the laptop keyboard isn't working even though the auto capture icon is turned on. When I use an external keyboard, that works. But I want to use my native laptop keyboard. Does anyone know what's wrong?
For anyone still having this problem, I learned that installing macOS on VMWare does not have this keyboard problem. Instructions are here

Issue setting up xcode 7 on El Capitan osx 10.11 and python

got a new mac, wanting to setup python and xcode, I am facing two issues.
python directory is showing up as "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python" which I think should be "usr/bin/python"...is this correct? if so how do I change it back?
I have followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysik6P5MIVs to setup xcode but when I go to run my simple code, I get a error "There is an problem launching using posix_spawn (error code: 8)." but it also says "build successful". I think this issue is somehow related to #1.
How to setup my computer?
You have to use "/usr/bin/pythonw"
It works!

Qt Mac OSX screen lock from application

We have developed an Qt application for Mac OSX in which we have used the following code to lock the screen.
system("/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend");
The code works as expected except sometime after locking, the screen freezes (a white/gray blank screen). We have to force shutdown the mac to unfreeze.
I have tested in Mac OSX 10.7.2, 10.7.4, 10.7.5.
I am not sure if its a problem of our app or the issue is caused by Mac itself?
Can anyone shed some light into this?
Thanks,
