Repair a virtual machine?

English Virtualization

I cheered a bit too soon.

After shutting down, I cant restart the vm, I think it complains about a network not being active. While setting up the vm, I remember the installer asking me to turn this on.

Google here I come.

network 'default' is not active

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 71, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)

The solution is in this vid, this was exactly the error I got:

guus@localhost:~> sudo virsh net-autostart default

This makes it autostart.

I feel stupid, but canā€™t find what I need to install.

I do remember it has to do with additional vid card drivers.

As we type I canā€™t in windows change the resolution from what its set at.
(800x600)

Maybe something with virtio-win-cd, virtio-guest-tools?

Since this is a different issue, itā€™s better to open a new topic.

Its something like that.

I had already found a post on this forum about it.
Sadly it has a broken link, and somebody said he installed a fedora rpm.

I am gonna do some more searching but without opensuse in the search string.
Look for that Redhat page about setting up a virtual machines.

I need the amd version but yes. :slight_smile:

I already downloaded virtio-win-0.1.262.iso

I am a bit confused but got it working.

From windows in the virtual machine, I downloaded the iso.
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_VirtIO_Drivers

Then ignored all the complaining from windows and installed:
virtio-win-gt-x64 and virtio-win-guest-tools

Although that page claims the guest tools are optional, I could not get it to work without it.

Then in windows I could change the resolution to match the resolution of my Tumbleweed desktop. :slight_smile:
