[SOLVED] Guest Arch in Virtual Box Internet Problems

I have installed Arch a few times already in virtual machines on Virtual Box and each time it is unable to configure the internet connection properly. Having gone through the beginner wiki-pages on starting with Arch, I have tried "ping -c 3 www.google.com" and get "ping: unknown host www.google.com". However, IP addresses usually work with 0% packet loss.
I then followed the "hwdetect" instruction and that yielded "-bash: hwdetect: command not found". The command "modprobe pcnet32" does not yield an error and returns nothing.
I have also tried other methods

Hi,
Pretty much the same here
That is strange but adding "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf enables me to access the internet. 192.168.0.1 is of course the IP of the host computer's vitual card but what is strange is: I need to use dhcpcd from guest to be given an IP that isn't even in the same range as 192.168.0.1 (for instance 10.0.2.15)!!
So to basically, host PC has that virtual ethernet card with static IP 192.168.0.1 and internet connection shared (don't know if this is compulsory though) and guest uses dhcp, is given 10.0.2.15 (don't ask me where it gets it from because I disabled it on VirtualBox). Then I just have to add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resolv.conf and I'm good... till dhcpcd rewrites the resolv.conf. How could we set dhcp to use a particular DNS?
As you can see, I am not a DNS expert. Using static IPs for both would be great but it doesn't work
Does it help?
The 10.x.x.x.x address range is assigned because you are most probably using NAT networking on the Virtual Box configuration.
Try with 'Bridged'.
If all goes well you shouldn't need to fiddle with /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, if you still need to change /etc/resolv.conf, put your changes in a file called /etc/resolv.conf.head which will survive
the changes that sometimes DHCP does on /etc/resolv.conf.

Installing ArchLinx+Guest Additions in Virtual Box(error during guest)

The Arch Linux install seemed to go through smoothly. I installed it using the wiki page, rebooted, and logged in as root. I am installing this for a class, so trying to follow the instructions to do so. Next, we are supposed to install 'Guest Additions' for Virtual box using the instructions below:
Now, you should install "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Guest additions allows you to share files between host and guest systems. This is very convenient for development as you will need to copy files back and forth between the host and guest operating systems. You can download Guest Additions at *link*.
You need to start the virtual machine before you can continue installing Guest Additions. To do that, just select your VM name from the list on the left hand side in VirtualBox and click Start. After logging into Arch Linux, you should mount this ISO image just as you had mounted the Arch Linux ISO file. You can then mount the cdrom inside the Guest OS by doing:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
Now install the guest additions by doing:
cd /mnt/cdrom
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
This will compile and install the kernel modules necessary for Guest Additions functionality. Please note that if you
recompile your own kernel (later as a part of project requirements), you will have to run this again so that the modules are
compiled and installed for the new kernel too.
Under settings for VBox, I mounted the Guest Additions image file, started Arch Linux, logged in as root, and followed the instructions above. I was able to do all of the above, but when I excute the last line, I am given this message:
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3971/linuxd.png
I have no idea where to go from here, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I feel like I have installed Arch Linux incorrectly. All the videos and pictures I see show a GUI type interface, but all I am presented with is a text-based interface. When I boot it up, it asks me to log in, and I am then taken to the command line, but I don't see the same GUI interface everyone else seems to have. Is this normal for a basic Arch Linux install? Thanks in advance.

Arch has no GUI until you install one. Some people don't want a GUI, so it's left to the user. The base install has only a command line interface.
You should probably read the Beginners Guide.
In case you missed them, there's two short articles, also on the wiki that might help you understand Arch, Arch Linux and The Arch Way

Arch in virtual box gives me i686 instead of x86_64-failed retrieving

Hello,
I tried arch in virtual box and when I do uname -a it gives me i686 instead of x86_64.
So, trying to insert to repositories the multilib , it doesn't work (it gives me failed retrieving multilib).
What can I do ?
Thanks!
(I download the dual ISO file,is that right?)

You chose i686 when booting the install disk in the VM. If you want x86_64, start over and install that. Or just go with i686, you're probably fine.
When I boot ity only had i686 as option.
If your machine supports a 64 bit VM, did you configure it as such?
I don't know anything about that.
So, in hard drive I will not have this problem.
Edit: BTW, welcome to Arch Linux
Thanks!
(Also,check https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1365386 if you want )

Installation as guest OS on Virtual Box

Hi,
I have downloaded Oracle Enterprise Linux and am trying to use the same as guest OS in Virtual Box on Windows Vista. While I managed to complete the installation successfully, I am not able to use it. When I power on the virtual machine and enter my username and password, it only displays a blank screen and nothing happens.
Can you help me out with this please ?

As advised previously, run system-config-display. Another way to modify the screen resolution is to modify it directly in the X settings. But please try system-config-display.Thanks for your reply. I tried modifying the display resolutions from "System->Preference->Screen Resolution", but the only options available there are "800x600" and "640x320". Incidently, when checked in "System->Administration->Display" window, the video card is shown as "Unknow Video Card". Selecting any of the video cards from "Configure..." button does not help either.
I am not used to Linux and hence am trying to do things using GUI interface. Please let me know if I have to use text mode to do something that can not be achieved in GUI mode.

[SOLVED] Arch Linux Guest Virtual Box OSE problem

So I am installing my Arch Linux as a Guest in my Ubuntu partition, through Virtual Box OSE (3.2.8). I followed the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest ) but still have an issue:
sudo pacman -S kernel26-headers xorg gcc make
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
sudo /mnt/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
But It fails on Shared folders, and cannot recognize X:
:: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions Kernel Modules [BUSY]
:: Building the main Guest Additions module [DONE]
:: Building the shared folder support module [FAIL]
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find otu what went wrong)
:: Warning: Unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers.
:: Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components [Done]
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log states:
/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9: error: unknown field 'clear_inode' specified in initalizer
/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9 warning: initalization from incompatible pointer type.
Which is strange, because as far as I know, clear_inode is part of the linux headers.
Any idea why this is happening? Do I just need to update VirtualBox to a newer version?

Updating Virtualbox fixed the issue.

Prepare Arch on Virtual Box then move to Real PC

Can I set Arch on a Virtual Box (convinent to have the wiki handy) then move it to my real PC? Will it work (virtual hardware vs real ones)? If so how do I proceed? On Ubuntu, theres RemasterSys which is for this purpose but has its faults. How do I achieve this anyways on Arch?

In ubuntu theres something like update-grub, do I need to do that?
UPDATE
What I did is https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#GRUB_Error_17
Problem now is GNOME does not start (I think a driver problem), and theres no network
When I've tried to convert from one file format to another it doesn't quite rework it.
When I do grub-install I don't use boot-directory.
I just use grub-install /dev/sda, unless I have a FreeBSD loader, which then I use /dev/sdax. Your menu.lst will pick up the kernels in /dev/sda5 with:
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
You can type those lines above directly into the grub command-line and should be able to get it to boot.

Calling DB from a guest OS in Virtual Box

Hi all,
I have a Oracle Db 10g installed in my windows vista.
I have also a linux installed in virtual box.
I tried to connect from the guest os (linux) but no way.
I used the 'ping' command and it work 4/4.
SO, should I configure the listner of the Data base to accept externel connection. If yes how??
the enterprise edition which i have is academic one (I am student)
plz help and sorry for my bad english
Thanks

Thanks for the reply! I am planning on putting it on Mac hardware, and understand the licensing requirements of OS X server.
What I'm mostly interested in is if it will actually work on XenServer and if so, then if the performance is worthwhile (ie: it performs nearly as well as being on the server natively). If the performance is poor, then I won't bother with XenServer and go with ESXi and probably won't virtualize my Mac hardware.
My original intention was to go with ESXi for multiple reasons. I wanted to be able to run the Cisco Nexus 1000v, but the licensing requirements with VMware for enterprise type features is completely outrageous and not practical for a SMB.

[Solved]Installed arch but got no internet

Hi!
I doesnt have any internet and my driver doesnt seem to auto load.
when typing ifconfig -a, eth0 doesnt show up, someone told me that the drivers wasnt loaded, and that I should use modprobe, but Im new and dont know what Im supposed to do.

[Solved] Installed Arch, I have a kernel problem.

Hi guys, I'm new here, but I use only linux since 2003. I have a problem at boot... When I choose arch from the bootloader I get this:
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda6'
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter
Or something very very similar. I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem so I try solving by myself following hints I've found on this forum... but nothing changed.

That's very curious. I'm just having this problem after installing the lowlatency kernel from this repo:
Server = http://arch.madfire.net/proaudio/i686
So I've just changed the initrd /boot/kernel26.img to /boot/kernel26rt.img and I'm getting exactly the same error. I've also tried changing sda with hda in the grub's menu.lst but nothing changed...

[SOLVED] SLiM locked in Virtual Box

So I installed the newest iso, got things ok in terminal and installed SLiM, but I'm stuck at the SLiM login. Neither root nor user works. I've tried console as username to force xterm, but all I get is a black screen with an X for a mouse. tried exit and nothing happened. I really need to get back to no GUI so I can edit the options for SLiM and get myself started. I'm going to be running Razor-QT on top of Openbox and SliM as login. Problem is I can't install Razor until I can visit the AUR..... Anyway, if someone can get me the hell out of slim I'd appreciate it.

You freaking rock bro. I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass to everyone, but most of my experience is in Ubuntu (I know that's like the f word) but I've run arch before and adored it, and have decided to use it as the base of a new distro which is like Bugtraq (I'm the graphics developer for the new version in dev) built on Arch for speed, so I'm I'm going to probably ask a lot of questions, however I am good at RTFM so I'll try not to ask any stupid questions.

I know nothing about xfce, but can you tell me what part of the console stuff is in English? Can you copy / paste an example?
$HOME config don't work either.
From grub to login and from using CLI apps like nano and wifi-menu,mc,no polish language there.
Everything is in english...
Like system sudenly goes blind and don't see what i put in to configs.
Everything worked well on my old pretty instalation i already miss that times.
EDIT:
Sudenly it worked again.
Dunno what happened,just working again...
Ok,so thx for tips guys,have a good evening...

please mark the thread as solved.

Running Arch in Virtual Box --- Cannot expand resolution.

I have ran the "xdpyinfo | grep dimensions" command on the virtual machine and got the output
"dimensions 800x600 pixels (452x277 millimetres)"
I then ran "xdpyinfo | grep "dots per inch" command inside the virtual machine and got the output
"resolution 45x55 dots per inch"
But on the host machine the values are obviously different and show the following from the same commands
dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Basically i would like to change the resolution of my virtual arch machine to the same size as the host machine. Could there be a .conf file where i could change these values?
Thanks

I have been reading some documentation and have created the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and added the following code to it.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "1680x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I have also edited the /boot/grub/menu.lst and added the following code to it.
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/494bc5ad-ee41-4ab7-acea-4612ab22b5ae ro vga=773
initrd /kernel26.img
Yet i still cannot change my resolution.

[Solved] Canon 4400F In Virtual Box

Unfortunately Canon doesn't see fit to support Linux!:/ I noticed on an online review at Amazon that someone got it to work via XP in virtualbox. I tried this on an XP running in virtualbox and I can see the scanner listed in devices->usb devices->Canon CanoScan (0500). Unfortunately the scanning software can't find the scanner and Windows Device Manager doesn't show a scanner.
Any ideas? By the way, this is the only thing standing in my way to be able to run 100% Linux and yes I know I could buy another scanner.:D
Thanks

[SOLVED] First Arch Install - but with wireless problem

Hi all
I got my first Arch installation working this morning. It was only the third try at installing which I didn't think was too bad really. I made some dumb mistakes the first two times. Arch rocks once you take the plunge. I've initially set it up with KDE but am thinking of switching to OpenBox instead - I like the minimal sort of style.
I've got a bit of an issue with the wireless. My settings in /etc/network.d/talktalk are as follows:
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WEP encrypted wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wep'
ESSID='TALKTALK-8AD68C'
KEY='s:######'
IP='dhcp'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes
It's a direct copy of the wep wireless example in /etc/network.d/examples.
The issue is that I issue from the command line: sudo netcfg talktalk
It responds initially with: [BUSY] but then responds: WPA Authentication/Association Failed [FAIL]
I know the wireless card works fine - I am dual booting with Ubuntu, and the ESSID and Key are correct. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks In Advance
Rich

I can't see anything in the 2 posts mentioned. These are the settings I have so far:
I've just noticed in point (6) below that it says "Access Point: Not-Associated". Possibly significant?
1) Output from netcfg:
[richard@dhcppc2 ~]$ sudo netcfg talktalk
:: talktalk up [BUSY]
> WPA Authentication/Association Failed
[FAIL]
2) Content of my /etc/network.d network profile - talktalk (actual key is obscured):
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WEP encrypted wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wep'
ESSID='TALKTALK-8AD68C'
KEY='s:#####'
IP='dhcp'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes
3) Netcfg version:
[richard@dhcppc2 ~]$ sudo netcfg -v
Password:
netcfg v2.5.5
4) Output from lsmod:
[richard@dhcppc2 ~]$ sudo lsmod

And remember load the network modules before start Virtualbox:

You don't need these modules for NAT networking.
