Hello folks,
Please help me to resolve following task: I install VirtualBox on OpenSuse11. It’s work ok. But after each restart/shutdown computer I need enter:
1)/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
otherwise it couldn’t start
2)# Brctl addbr br0
Ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 PROMISC
Brctl addif br0 eth0
Dhclient br0
VBoxAddIF vbox0 username br0
for network support.
Is that possible to put it somethere for automatic reload each time? I’m new in Linux so i need detail answer.:\
You actually don’t need vboxdrv setup, it’s vboxdrv start you need. You can make this happen by enabling the vboxdrv service to start at boot from YaST, or by
chkconfig --set vboxdrv on
from the CLI. Just like any other service.
The bridge setup you have do to by editing in /etc/sysconfig/network. Most likely by creating an ifcfg-br0. Sorry I can’t help you there as I don’t run a bridged VM on my machine. I believe there is a worked example for SUSE in the PDF documentation for VirtualBox.
Thanks for so simple solution for 1! You are the great man!
About 2- I’m already try that scince posting but only particular succsessful. I made config file for a bridge and it recieved ip address from DHCP server. But Guest OS coudn’t recieve. Seemes that ‘vbox’ interface didn’t get ip.
The last problem that I need to resolve is that virtual interface which I create by VBoxAddIF - work only before reset, after reset it’s not working.
How can I fix it?
I can’t understand why it’s gone because it must be permanent? :-0
