(SOLVED) Virtualbox bridged network, windows host, arch guest

I am trying to get my archlinux guest's network working again. It was working before I bridged the connection and changed the adaptor to the bridged one, but I want a bridged connection for certain reasons, so I want it working. This is the result I get when I use sudo dchcpcd eth0:
dhcpcd: version 5.0.7 starting
dhcpcd: eth0: rebinding lease of 10.0.2.15
dhcpcd: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd: eth0: offered 192.168.0.199 from 192.168.0.1
dhcpcd: eth0: acknowledged 192.168.0.199 from 192.168.0.1
dhcpcd: eth0: checking for 192.168.0.199
dhcpcd: eth0: hardware address 00:le:8c:85:a6:4d claims 192.168.0.199
dhcpcd: eth0: send_raw_packet: Bad file descriptor
dhcpcd: eth0: rebinding lease of 10.0.2.15
dhcocd: timed out
I have no clue why it's not working, but I am sort of new to linux and virtual machines. Still, can anyone help me get the bridged connection working?
EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it.

All I did was unbridge my windows network. You only select the bridged network from virtualbox, don't manually bridge your network!
If you windows network is not bridged with your vm's host only network in the windows networking page, then I dunno what your problem is.

Virtualbox bridged networking problem

Hi out there.
I'm trying to set up VirtualBox bridged networking as described in the wiki by "the arch way"
Here are the relevant details of my config files:
/etc/conf.d/bridges:
bridge_br0="eth0"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
/etc/vbox/interfaces:
vbox0 nofoo br0
(Where nofoo is supposed to be the user running virtualbox)
And finally...
/etc/rc.conf:
MODULES=(e1000e snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore bridge vboxdrv vboxnet)
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 up"
br0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 br0)
So. I added the user to the vboxusers group.
After a reboot, myifconfig says:
br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:70:0B:D7:11

Which should be ok.
My settings in VirtualBox itself are the following:
adapted to:host interface
interface name:vbox0
The start and stop program parameters are left empty.
Now, when i try to start my vm, the following error message occurs:
Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).
Errorcode:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}
Does anyone of you know what went wrong here?

monk

Yeah, I have this same issue. I installed virtualbox-ose using pacman and also don't have /etc/rc.d/vboxnet. I've searched the entire machine and it is nowhere to be found. Did you solve it? Anyone got any ideas?

How to install DKMS within Win7(host) + Arch(guest)

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11657
The following is my environment:
Host: Win 7
Guest: Virtual Box + Arch (kernel 2.6.33)
Now, I want to adjust the resolution inside VBox, default is always 800x600 and cannot change it without any more actions.
So I refered to the manual in VBox, said need to install VBoxAddition.
But I don't know how to install DKMS, which is a project form DELL, and it seems to be prerequsite for VBoxAddition.
Thanks in advance.

sand_man wrote:Ummm.... This is the second of these posts I've seen lately so I'm a little confused.
You just need to install virtualbox-additions from the official repos. The package is merely the guest additions iso file which you need to mount in the guest and install from there.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … _Additions
Anyway, thank you for the reply.
But I look up in the URL you posted, it's used in the case of Arch(host) + Arch(guest) or as my understanding, at least Arch(host).
quoted from the Arch-Vitualbox wiki : "The instructions immediately below are for an Archlinux guest on an Archlinux host."
and I also tried as the instruction, it cannot work indeed. so I think DKMS is a must for WinXXX(host) + Arch(guest).
As for other guest hosted in WinXXXX, like Debian(Ubuntu), Fedora distros, it has repo package at hands, so can be used directly.
When it comes to our Arch, it's treated as Unsupported package, so I am asking how to install DKMS under such circumstances.
quotes from Virtual Box manual:
The VirtualBox Guest Additions for Linux are provided on the same ISO CD-ROM as the Additions for Windows described above. They also come with an installation program guiding you through the setup process, although, due to the significant differences between Linux distributions, installation may be slightly more complex.
Installation generally involves the following steps:
1.
Before installing the Guest Additions, you will have to prepare your guest system for building external kernel modules. This works similarly as described in the section called "The VirtualBox kernel module", except that this step must now be performed in your Linux guest instead of on a Linux host system, as described there.
Again, as with Linux hosts, we recommend using DKMS for Linux guests as well. If it is not installed, use this command for Ubuntu/Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install dkms
or for Fedora systems:
yum install dkms
Make sure to nstall DKMS before installing the Linux Guest Additions.
2.
Mount the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file as your Linux guest's virtual CD-ROM drive, exactly the same way as described for a Windows guest in the section called "Installation".
3.
Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
In a 64-bit Linux guest, use VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run instead.
For your convenience, the following step-by-step instructions have been verified to work for freshly installed copies of the most popular Linux distributions. After these preparational steps, you can execute the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer as described above.

[solved]virtualbox bridge-adapter error

I wanna use virtualbox bridge-adapter, virtualbox works fine, and I already installed bridge-utils.
but I cannot found uml_utilities by pacman or yaourt
help, thanks

I got it, I forgetten to modprobe vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp and vboxpci
no need to use uml_utilities
thx~

[SOLVED]VirtualBox Bridged mode not working

For some reason I am unable to start a virtual machine in host-only or bridged mode. I can do NAT mode but that doesn't really suit what I want to do very well. Here is the message I get when trying bridged mode.
Failed to start the virtual machine Windows XP.
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlan0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older verison of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root
(VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
I can't run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv because it doesn't exist. I installed Vbox via Pacman and I'm embarassed to admit I don't really know where it is. I just launch it by right clicking on my desktop (using fluxbox).
Any ideas on where to go next?
also here are my vbox logs

[SOLVED] VirtualBox won't recognize host USB devices w/o root access

VirtualBox is currently unable to detect the host's USB devices without root access. When I try to add a USB filter with user permission, the menu says
<no devices available>
but when I run VirtualBox as root, it detects the USB device, obeys the filter once added, and I can access the USB device from inside the virtual machine. Is there any way to get the same behavior from a non-root account?
This user account is part of the vboxusers group and I have guest additions installed.
Last edited by boblitz13 (2012-10-19 21:05:01)

Well, sometimes it's the truly silly things that get you. I rebooted and VB now detects the host USB devices with regular permissions. All of the device filters are now working except the one for my NTFS-formatted external HD. The filter will grab it from the host OS but I cannot access it in the guest. I read that VB used to have a problem with USB 3.0, but that seems to have been resolved in the latest version. Is there any other explanation for why this isn't working?

[Solved]Vbox 3.1.2 - Bridged networking stopped working on Arch guest

After upgrading Virtual Box to 3.1.2 (both ose and puel versions apply here) bridged networking stopped working on an Arch guest which I use as a test server.
While writing this post I solved the problem. What I did was to enable NAT on the first adapter and Bridging on the second. After booting into to the guest I did the following;
# ifconfig eth1 up
# dhcpcd eth1
I shutdown the guest and removed the NAT adapter so only the bridged one remained, booted it and voilá for some mysterious and unfathomable reason bridging now works again.

Virtualbox on windows host: how to install guest addtional

Hi all:
do i need to install the vbox kernel modual ?
can anyone point me some howto ?
there are quite a lot of documents on vbox on Linux host
i can't seem to find doc with a windows host
thanks

The host doesn't matter for installing guest additions.
If Linux is the guest os, just follow these instructions:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … _Additions

No internet/DNS connection with Arch guest on Virtualbox

I am trying to run Archlinux as a guest OS in Virtualbox on an Ubuntu 7.10 host system, and I cannot connect to anything but my router. So far, I have only installed the base system (Arch Linux core 2007.08-2) from a CD.
I can ping the localhost (both on 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.2.15) and my gateway (10.0.2.2), but not my DNS server (10.0.2.3) or anything else (like www.google.com). So far, I went through the "Beginners Guide", the "Official Arch Linux Install Guide", the configuring network section of the ArchWiki, and tried to find some solution on the internet. Still no luck.
I have set up networking to use dhcp. The networking section in my /etc/rc.conf file looks like:
HOSTNAME="arch"
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)
The daemons that run during startup are:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond)
I have put the hostname in the /etc/hosts file like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost arch
The nameserver that shows up in my /etc/resolv.conf file is:
nameserver 10.0.2.3
I am a bit puzzled and I don't know what to do. I do think it is an Arch issue, since I also have Windows XP running in a Virtualbox with Ubuntu as host, and that works fine with the same Virtualbox settings and network settings within the guest OS.
I would appreciate any help here.

Try reading the VirtualBox manuals.
I specifically remember that ping doesn't work at all, although you DO have internet connection.
Try running some sort of web browser (firefox or links), and then decide if you have internet access or not.
And, of course, make sure you do have dhcp running ("dhcpcd eth0").
One last thing:
I have an Arch guest (on VirtualBox), running on an Arch host.
Everything works fine..
Simply installed it from the installation CD, didn't have to do nothing special for it to work..

[SOLVED] VBox: Access shared folders from Windows Server 2008 Guest

Hi,
I have installed virtualbox v4.2.4 on Arch and I launch a WIndows Server 2008 guest. I want to access shared folder from guest. How to do it?
Last edited by toni (2012-11-26 00:31:21)

Hi,
I have done this but it does not work.
My network is configured as a NAT in virutalbox.
Also from WIndows server 2008 guest I do:
net use z:\\vboxsvr\mySharedFolder
Do I have to install additional software in host or do I have to configure something in Windows server 2008 guest?

[SOLVED] Virtualbox FreeBSD guest

Hi,
I installed a FreeBSD7.1 guest in Virtualbox. First I went with NAT but this didn't do because I wanted to be able to ssh to the guest os.
So I went with network bridging.
Host is Archlinux which used dhcp through wlan0 (wireless)
I created the tap0 and got bridging working after a lot of hassle. dhcp didn't work for the guest, so I chose a static ip.
ifconfig on host looks like this:
tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:1D:7A:68:8C:A2
inet addr:192.168.1.150 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255
inet6 addr: fe80::501d:7aff:fe68:8ca2/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:77:D9:94:E6
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21b:77ff:fed9:94e6/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:12572152 (11.9 Mb) TX bytes:2707629 (2.5 Mb)
on the guest it looks like this
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST?RUNNING?SIMPLEX?MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 08:00:27:19:b3:ee
inet 192.168.1.151 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
Now, where host name lookup worked perfectly with NAT, it doesn't with this tap0 solution.
I discovered my FreeBSD didn't have an /etc/resolv.conf, so I copied the one on my archlinux host to the guest.
it looks like this:
# Generated by dhcpcd from wlan0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
domain WAG200G
nameserver 193.109.184.72
nameserver 193.109.184.75
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
but that doesn't make it happen
my networking skills are minimal, been looking all over the net for any solutions, but nothing so far .. any ideas anyone?

tkdfighter wrote:Well, to me your resolve.conf looks fine. Could you post more details of how you set up the tap device? Especially the commands would be useful.
it was something like this:
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sudo tunctl -u $USER
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.150/32 dev tap0
sudo ip link set tap0 up
sudo parprouted -d wlan0 tap0
that part worked, apart from using dhcp, I had to go for a static ip (wanted to use something like dhcp-helper, dhcp3-relay, bcrelay, but none of those tools I could find in packages/aur)

Have you tried the built in bridging functionality in VirtualBox? It works well enough with my Arch guest practice server. You bascially don't need to set up bridging manually.
Just set it when chosing network setup inside the vbox gui. You need to load the vboxnetflt module before it will work.
I had tried it several times now, only when trying again I discovered a typo in my setextradata commands! omg I feel daft now ...
(Hostport -> HostPort, Guestport -> GuestPort)
It works flawlessly now, thank you for the help :)

I CAN install ARCH in Vbox 1.6.4 on my server 2008 trial host laptop though even if I install the additions first doing
pacman -S xorg gnome gnome-extra hwd gdm
UPON reboot AFTER installing gnome (as a test) It all craps out with a really long list of stuff beginning with bracketed numbers I think.. and then at the end a bunch of numbers across the screen... is that kernel panic...???? hehehe dunno actually. Sorry I can't be more specific...
I just need to know WHAt the setting are for virtualbox... I USED the arch linux setting that vbox has... though I DID check SATA disks and did NOT use Ide_Legacy when installing Arch which seemed wrong If I was using SATA disks...
I guess there's no reason to use sata disks checkbox? I thought PERHAPS this might let me hook up a sata external drive... though I figure that's not really possible or even needed by me. SATA drive emulation would be cool?
hmmmmm..... PATA should be fine though I do believe I get the same prob. without checking that SATA box in box setting for the VM..... must be that I need ide_legacy.... which kinda seems old ?
And them wouldn't I have a bunch of pacages problems with pacman???????!!!!!!!!!!!!
This post.... very last entry say ide_legacy mode is need to install arch as a guest on a windows host with VirtualBox..
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=28863&p=3
Anyone know if this is STILL the case...
there's a SATA checkbox now with the latest vbox version 1.6.4
I'm having a really hard time getting arch installed as a guest using vbox 164 on a win server2008 system...
It's going to be nice and comfy when I do get a VM of Arch to use on the server 2008 partition though!
thanks!!!!!!!

Here's my answer...
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. … light=arch
Which I kinda though WAS the case..
SO: Can anyone tell me.... WHAT is NOT modern about the legacy option stuff....
I REALLY wanna work with UDEV etc etc etc etc
LOVE to find out what's what with the ide_legacy option
I also considered QEMU though the windows port seems to be dying or not gonna work with server 2008 as my host for these experiments
Oh well.... I wouldn't be making the time for any of this had not my old PIII 1 gh z laptop died....
I was OS happy with a real install on there....
Then again.... I guess vox is kinda cool too
thanks!

Qemu-kvm: network access from host to guest

I need ssh and http access from my host (Arch) to the guest (other Linux). I've failed at setting up Tap networking as described in the wiki. I don't need to have the whole LAN access the guest, so is there another way the host can access the guest? Using the guest's IP of 10.0.2.15 doesn't work, but I'm hoping there is a way to do it.
Thanks.

Ok, I've followed the instructions from the wiki.
One problem is that I'm on a laptop. eth0 is wireless and eth1 is wired. I chose to use eth1 since I thought it'd be easier to get working on one device before trying to make it work on both.
1. bridge and tun modules are loaded from rc.conf
2. In /etc/conf.d/bridges I have this:
bridge_br0="eth1"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
3. In /etc/rc.conf I changed my networking portion to this:
eth1="eth1 up"
br0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth1 br0)
4. In /etc/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules I have this:
KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660"
5. My user is part of the kvm group, although I have also tried running qemu-kvm as root.
6. In /etc/qemu-ifup I put:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Executing /etc/qemu-ifup"
echo "Bringing up $1 for bridged mode..."
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
echo "Adding $1 to br0..."
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1
sleep 2
7. Using visudo I added this to the bottom:
Cmnd_Alias QEMU=/sbin/ifconfig,/sbin/modprobe,/usr/sbin/brctl,/usr/bin/tunctl
%kvm ALL=NOPASSWD: QEMU
8. I launch qemu-kvm with the following script:
USERID=`whoami`
IFACE=`sudo tunctl -b -u $USERID`
qemu-kvm -net nic -net tap,ifname="$IFACE" -vga std -m 1024 -k en-us -usbdevice tablet -localtime /dev/sda
sudo tunctl -d $IFACE &> /dev/null
My system starts with br0 getting the dhcp IP on boot, so that part is working.
When I run the qemu-kvm start script I get this error (running as user or root):
/etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script
Could not initialize device 'tap'
/etc/qemu-ifup is executable

[SOLVED] KVM and Bridged Networking

I've got KVM working and a Windows 2008 server installed on a image now, but it's only getting a NAT ip address. I need to get this server onto my main network, on Windows I'd use Virtual Box and Bridged Networking, but I thought I'd give KVM a try out.
I've followed the setup at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KV … Networking
Using Netcfg
Bridged networking is used when you want your VM to be on the same network as your host machine. This will allow it to get a static or DHCP IP address on your network, and then you can access it using that IP address from anywhere on your LAN. The preferred method for setting up bridged networking for KVM is to use the netcfg package. You will also need to install bridge-utils.
Netcfg#Configuring_a_bridge_for_use_with_virtual_machines_.28VMs.29
And this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … _.28VMs.29
I've got a bridge working I believe (all my stuff is DHCP by the way)

I've got "bridge" added to my rc.conf as a MODULE which is loaded. (I saw reference to this somewhere else on the forum that this might be needed)
I'm starting my VM with the following command
qemu-kvm -vnc 192.168.1.52:0 -hda Nekomi -m 2048 -smp 2 -net nic
Yet I still can't get an IP outside of the 10.0.0.0 range on the VM.
The VNC line above is because the HOST has not VGA output at all, completely headless.
I'm trying to get this working and trying to learn at the same time. KVM is new to me, as is bridged networking on linux.
Any ideas? Thanks

Sorry for the delay, bit a PC rebuild occurred :-(
Anyway, I managed to get this working with steps #1-#7 from the linked section. Thanks for that. I did have a few minor issues in getting a DHCP on the host machine itself, turns out I'd missed a single ) from the daemons section of rc.conf. A human error, but difficult to fix as the machine was rendered off the network and without a VGA card... fun!
I diverge, I have this script to bring up a bridge when the qemu-kvm starts
#!/bin/sh
echo "Executing /etc/qemu-ifup"
echo "Bringing up $1 for bridged mode..."
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
echo "Adding $1 to br0..."
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1
sleep 2
But when the kvm shutdowns it complains it can't find qemu-ifdown script. So I'm thinking of making one but just want to check it over first.
#!/bin/sh
echo "Executing /etc/qemu-ifdown"
echo "Removing $1 from br0..."
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl delif br0 $1
echo "Taking down $1 from bridged mode..."
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc down
sleep 2
I've reversed the logic here, is the above the correct way to bring down the guest interface?

Windows host cannot establish Ethernet link to Arch Router

This is a weird problem.
I have a Windows host about 20 meters away from my Arch Router, the Ethernet cable goes into the wall, with wall sockets, so it's a total of 3 cables (1 in wall, 1 @ router, 1 @ host). I've tested the Ethernet cables with a LAN tester, they are all fine. When I connect the host to a Linksys router using the same cables, an IP address is obtained and the link is up and running.
But when I connect the host to my Arch Router (an Arch computer with some network cards), no ethernet link at all is detected. No lights on the ethernet card of the host, and ethtool on the router reports the link being down. I have connected my laptop to this ethernet card of the router and it works just fine, I get an IP and I can surf the web etc.
I really have no clue why this other host cannot establish a link. Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be?

pyther is right. Check for Auto-MDIX support on your network cards.
What network cards are you using?
Rule of thumb:
Auto-MDIX is a requirement in the Gigabit Ethernet specification, so proper Gigabit capable cards will work 99% of the time whatever cable you use.
Fast Ethernet (100mbit) and below does not have Auto-MDIX in it's specification, so those 9 out of 10 of those cards will not perform it! When connecting these directly to another network card, use a cross-cable.
Also make sure the network cards are in working order. I assume the ArchRouter PC's network runs fine when you connect that to your Linksys router?
