Cannot create host-only network

[hito mario]

Hi,

I installed vbox 4:12 in Mac OS, then I import oracle vm and I made ​​a host-only network to test the connection between my mac and vbox and it runs.

Then I re-booted my mac and tried to run the oracle vm application that I created earlier. Problems arise which host-only is not found in accordance with the image that I attach.

if anyone has ever experienced jg, I've tried to do create vbox manage hostonlyif create alerts out below

~ Admin $ VBoxManage hostonlyif create
0% ...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interfaces: failed to open / dev / vboxnetctl: No such file or directory

VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterface, interface IHostNetworkInterface
VBoxManage: error: Context: "int handleCreate (HandlerArg *, int, int *)" at line 68 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp

Thank you in advance

Seems like your Virtualbox installation is broken, and I would try to fully uninstall it, then reinstall.

[hito mario]

I've installed 4 to 5 times but still problematic.

[noteirak]

From the error message, your issue is on /dev/vboxnetctl
Does the file exist? Do you have rights on it?

[hito mario]

After installation virtualbox, the file is then restarted my mac. The file is missing.

[noteirak]

Then I don't know what could remove it.
Not having a Mac myself, I wouldn't know how to troubleshoot that. Maybe other with more knowledge can help you here.

[hito mario]

maybe others can help.

Thank's before.

Did you first Uninstall?

The field Name is set as Not selected in your image, rather than vboxnet0.
My understanding is the the StartUp Item for VBox is responsible for setting up vboxnet0 along with the .kext extensions.
The Uninstall clears the .kext files (amongst others)

Best

After all i delete .kext from folder /Library/Extentions, and then i re install VBox. After that I was able to create a host-only, then I try to restart my mac. And back problems as above.

thx before

[hito mario]

Thx.

IMHO mucking in the the folders is not the same as running the Uninstall script VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool from .dmg

[hito mario]

yes, I've installed via the dmg file and also tried to uninstall but could not solve also

The fact that it works until you restart tells me that something is not right on boot. Either a service missing or another doing something bad.

Have you tried running Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility before doing the uninstall and re-install of VB? There were a couple of users in the past that reported problems with the kexts that turned out to be permissions related. It wouldn't hurt to try.

No clue why, but restarting this service seems to fix this for m e

Code: Select all

 sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
