I just updated a 11.2 server to 12.1.
Which VirtualBox version did you use on 11.2? Maybe newer versions do not automatically create the host only network interface?
I had a running VM and as far as I remember I used it with host only networking (access to it is done by SuSEfirewall2).
I can't anymore.
First, there are some dedicated VirtualBox mailing list: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mailing_lists
I use it as user "virtual". When I try to launch it I just have an error message
"VBoxHeadless -startvm s-r Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.1.4_OSE (C) 2008-2011 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved.
Error: failed to start machine. Error message: Nonexistent host networking interface, name '' (VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR) "
Some googling told me: https://manual.cs50.net/VirtualBox#Nonexistent_host_networking_interface.2C_...
in yast I don't see any VirtualBox network (on the host, of course I can't connect to a non running guest)
I do not use YaST for this, however "ip a" shows any vboxnet interface on my 11.4. You need the vboxnet networking interface running on your host for host only networking interfaces in your guest. What does "lsmod | grep vbox" say? Here, vboxnetadp and vboxnetflt are loaded.
now I'm at home, with only ssh access, but I can manage to have VNC if necessary or even to move to the server location :-(
There is a command line interface for configuring your virtual machines called vboxmanage, including network: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html Does "vboxmanage list hostonlyifs" show any host only networling interfaces? Here it looks like: jan@karl:~> vboxmanage list hostonlyifs Name: vboxnet0 GUID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx Dhcp: Disabled IPAddress: 192.168.xxx.xxx NetworkMask: 255.255.255.0 IPV6Address: IPV6NetworkMaskPrefixLength: 0 HardwareAddress: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx MediumType: Ethernet Status: Down VBoxNetworkName: HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0 In the outout of "vboxmanage showvminfo <uid>|<name>" there are some lines starting with "NIC". Can you find any trace of your "hostonly" networking interface?
