While trying to install “openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64.ISO” in VirtualBox I get the error “No network device found. Load a network module first.” when trying to select network settings, and after trying tro select default HTTP repository source.
I’ve tried different network settings (NAT, Bridge, etc.) and NIC cards as suggested during internet research without success. It feels like openSUSE-Tumbleweed NIC is simply not recognized by VirtualBox.
Any hint?
Cheers.
Your Host system is?
openSUSE Tumbleweed VERSION=“20250617”
It is worth to mention, I am trying to install the offline image +4GiB
@snebel29 When did you last update your system with zypper dup as of today Tumbleweed is VERSION=“20251127”…
I haven’t update it since 20250617… should I? Do you think there might be a relationship?
I just did upgrade Host Tumbleweed OS to VERSION=“20251127”, same problem. I tried to install a Ubuntu Machine and seems to be picking the network, which made me think there might be something “missing” in openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20251127-Media.iso offline image.
VirtualBox uses by default the following network settings
Although as explained before, tried different settings combination…
Have here a host with TW latest (zypper dup right now…). Downloaded TW installer DVD image and checked sha256sum. OK
Install stalls upon adding the repos:
With NAT.
But succeeds with dedicated Bridged adapter (second card given below).
Hardware: Dell Precision T5810 with
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I217-LM (rev 05)
Kernel driver in use: e1000e
(with NAT, install fails)
and
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB/82571GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller D0/D1 (copper applications) (rev 06)
Kernel driver in use: e1000e
(Bridged, install succeds)
YMMV…
