Xfce have not internet connection

English Network/Internet
#1

I have installed openSUSE Tumbleweed Xfce on a VirtualBox, but it is not connected to Internet.
What to do to access internet ?
Thanks!

#2

How is the VirtualBox networking configured??

#3

The VirtualBox networking is configured:

  • NAT;
  • Cable.
#4

The VirtualBox networking is configured:

  • Attached to: NAT;
  • Advanced: Cable Connected.
#5

Try bridge adapter

#6

After changed Attached to: Bridged adapter - no internet access, Mozilla Firefox can not start without internet …

#7

Do you see a network node in the guest?

/sbin/ifconfig

/sbin/ifconfig -a

Are you using wicked to manage the network settings? If so, configure the guest network device first (just as you would if Linux was running on a physical machine)

YaST > System > Network Settings > Overview, select the network device then ‘Edit’ and make sure it is configured appropriately for your network environment.

Once that’s done you may need to restart the network with

sudo systemctl restart network

or just reboot the guest.

Any different?

#8

One more thing to be aware of - I connect to a Ruckus AP in a corporate network that won’t provide a DHCP lease to guest (via my VBox bridged adapter). Other wireless APs that I connect to are OK. My workaround is just to bridge to a wired network interface instead. This only applies to the bridged interface situation of course.

#9

I like openSUSE Tumbleweed Xfce, because it is the only which can install Mono and monoDevelop, it can compile and start C# projects :slight_smile:
It is not very important for me to configure an internet access for openSUSE VirtualBox, because I can not do that>:)
So I continue to use openSUSE, may be in the future I would configure the Network successfully:)

#10

Well, you could at least run the commands I gave and confirm if a network device node is present.

#11 
c3p0@linux-yl64:~> /sbin/ifconfig
bash: /sbin/ifconfig: No such file or directory
c3p0@linux-yl64:~> /sbin/ifconfig -a
bash: /sbin/ifconfig: No such file or directory
c3p0@linux-yl64:~>

I don’t understand why it happens this strange way (nothing from YaST can not be started).

#12

This reads like an incomplete install.

#13

Tomorrow I will install openSUSE as a guest VirtualBox, I am very tired now.

Not necessarily, as ifconfig has been deprecated for ages.

However, if even “ip” would be missing, I would agree immediately.

Deprecated but not gone.

Addendum:

Just to make my point a little more clear,

rpm -qf /sbin/ifconfig
net-tools-deprecated-1.60-821.8.x86_64

This is on a 42.2, I also have a rather fresh Tumbleweed install (as “minimal
install, server mode”) and there ifconfig is not present by default,

So

ip a

would be the “modern” command, ip (package “iproute2”) should always be present
if the install is not horribly broken/incomplete.

It was this that makes me worry…

Agreed, that sounds very much like a seriously “borked” install.

Ok, it seems that the “new” ones have improved. Lat timee I looked into it, you could not get the equivalent of

ifconfig -s

which is by far the one most used here on the forums from all the options available.

(And I never understood what is wrong with the “old” ones that existed for over 30 years).

#20

I just installed a new openSUSE as a VirtualBox-guest OS.
I am happy to inform you, that inside YaST > System > Network Settings works and I am there to try to do something to enable internet.
After I did something like: Dynamic Addresses DHCP, I don’t remember exactly … I restarted the guest and when started Mozilla Firefox, it works!
May be everything is o.k. now. I don’t know.

If 'ifconfig' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf ifconfig
c3p0@linux-hhte:~> ifconfig -a
