[Mistril]

Hello,

My name is Mistril and i am new to this forum. Yesterday i tried to install a VB machine using a tutorial on howtoforge.

Unfortunately i ran into this error:
Error: failed to start machine. Error message: Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-ens33' (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND)

My host is UBUNTU 16.04, the VM i tried to install is also UBUNTU 16.04.

My install instructions:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage createvm --name "Ubuntu 16.04 Server" --register
VBoxManage modifyvm "Ubuntu 16.04 Server" --memory 4096 --acpi on --boot1 dvd --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 ens33
VBoxManage createhd --filename "/home/admin/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu 16.04 Server/Ubuntu_16_04_Server.vdi" --size 100000
VBoxManage storagectl "Ubuntu 16.04 Server" --name "IDE Controller" --add ide
VBoxManage storageattach "Ubuntu 16.04 Server" --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium "/home/admin/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu 16.04 Server/Ubuntu_16_04_Server.vdi"
VBoxManage storageattach "Ubuntu 16.04 Server" --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium /tmp/ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso

Thanks for your help

HostInterfaceNetworking-ens33' (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND)

This means that your ens33 is not found. Make sure you use the right adapter or switch to NAT until you get everything working

Thanks.

This pointed me in the direction of the solution.

Being only a bit familiar with ubuntu i didnt know what ens33 was. But after your reply I googled a bit with "ens33" and "adapter" and found this post:

I ended up using

Code: Select all

ip a

to find that i dont have an "ens33", but i have an "eno1".

Changed this in the VM and it starts!

Now on to the next hurdle.
