Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eno1'

Post by a_subscriber »

Given:
Virtual Box 6.1.38
Install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.38.vbox-extpack

Host: Linux Mint 20.3
Guest (VM) Windows 10
VM Settings -> Network -> Adapter 1 -> Bridged Adapter, name = eno1


But when I try to start VM I get error:

Code: Select all

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eno1' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

I'm going to guess that you are using the Linux distro fork of Virtualbox, because of dkms, which official Virtualbox from www.virtualbox.org does not use. The distros support their forks, you could ask them for further issues.
