Go through the steps to set up virt-manager and when you get to network selection choose customize. I use Macvtap device and enter my device name. Then on the next screen i select UEFI and apply or leave at Bios if that is your machine. The final screen i select virtio 3D and apply. Then begin installation.
Edit: This is on Ethernet. I have never been able to get WiFi to work for me. It won’t recognize the device anyway i have tried.
I’m trying to install Kali to test this. When the installer tries to configure the network it says there’s no DHCP available and asks if I want to manually do the net cofiguration.
In the manager, I don’t see any DHCP issued for the card.
When and networks,
sinux at sinux-pch in ~
↪ sudo virsh net-list --all
[sudo] password for sinux:
Name State Autostart Persistent
--------------------------------------------
default active yes yes
WiFi active yes yes
That is because you are using macvtap. You shouldn’t have to do that. If you want to work over wifi, get the default network working. You probably are missing one of the needed packages.
Start with these instructions and then share the error message:
Open up wirt-manager and go to edit->connection details. Then select virtual networks and the select the default network and click the start network button. You will get an error. Let us know what that error is.
I’ve always used it this way. I don’t know any different it just worked. Any way i open virt-manager and it’s greyed out if enter my password to start the network.
Edit: If i don’t enter the password and get rid of the box out of the way i get this.
Are you using default or wifi on the VM? Also, are both network active? In other words, if you are using wifi and not ethernet on the host, make sure you have the right network in the adapter settings for the VM.
