In virtualbox, it's been my observation that NO live CD will have an internet connection if I leave the virtualbox setting on the default NAT setting. If I change it to Bridged, I can then select from the hardware interfaces that exist on the host machine, and it conntects.
sorry, but no thats not the way its happening here. running virtualbox 4.3.10 on kubuntu 14.04x64.
there is also no need to mess arround with the network settings, as the pre-defined ones when chosing ubuntu or even linux will just work with any live-cd except refracta.
and again: just because of it, i also tried ANY network profile available in virtualbox, but neither of them work.
Oh, you are right that an internet connection is available when it's set on NAT.. Been a long time since I actually tried that. Sorry for the confusion. I tried it with an antix iso from last November and with the refracta live-cd (both i386 and amd64 versions). It worked in all three cases.
Just to make sure there's no confusion in terminology, "Refracta" refers to the live CD that we distribute, currently one of these images built on debian wheezy -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refract ... isohybrid/Did you try it with one of those, or just with the live-CD image you built from kubuntu?
You made a snapshot of your installation. Did your network manager modify the interfaces file or not? In debian, the default interfaces file only has the loopback interface configured. Some people will alter theirs on an installation, and it's possible that some network managers might alter it. I don't know what every distro does with that file. I only need to know if yours is different. Does it contain configuration for your interfaces? Does 70-persistent-net.rules show your ethernet controller ( RTL8111/8168/8411) as eth0, or does it call it something else?
i fear you did not really understand me. my network manager did modify the 70-persisten rules file, and therefore i once removed it, before doing a snapshot. i wrote this a few posts back.
I understood you correctly. One of the things I do when diagnosing network problems is to look at that file, so I asked to see that file. BTW, that file is generated by udev, not by the network manager.
the interfaces file was not modified. it looked the same as the file i compared with which was a mint live cd distro running in virtual box. (i thought if its working there, lets just see if the files are identic - and they are)
OK, so they are identical. Can you tell me what they look like? I don't have a mint iso to check it, and I can't see what's on your screen. Does it contain anything more than the following?
- Code: Select all
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
If it does contain more than that, would you please tell me what's there?
9.0.9-8 is the latest version for wheezy. You could try the version for jessie/sid (9.1.2), which you can find here -
http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/Testing/Note that the newer version requires xorriso to be installed. Also, in newer versions of syslinux, isolinux is no longer included and is a separate package.
I’m trying it out in Virtualbox and dhclient is giving me this error:
dhclient: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied
This is all I could find for that error message in ubuntu. I don't know if it's relevant or not.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/310619/p ... g-dhclientOne thing you could try is to remove "ip=frommedia" from the boot command. When you're at the syslinux/isolinux boot menu (on the live iso) hit TAB, and you can edit the line.
Edit: What's the output of 'cat /proc/cmdline' when you're running the live iso?
