Re: Installation on a virtual machine not able to connect to internet

bash# Vedi tutte le interfacce
ip addr show

# O con il comando tradizionale
ifconfig
Controlla se la tua interfaccia di rete (es. eth0, wlan0, enp0s3) ha un indirizzo IP assegnato.
2. Controlla se l'interfaccia è attiva
bash# Attiva l'interfaccia se è down (sostituisci eth0 con la tua)
sudo ip link set eth0 up

# O con ifconfig
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Re: Installation on a virtual machine not able to connect to internet

Hello and welcome to the forums: Some notes before looking deeper into. Hyperbola is not offering "sudo" but "opendoas". If you want to execute commands with different privileges or root you would need to execute it with:

doas [COMMAND]

Furthermore to the internet-connection: If you have installed already and restarted into a new session after the installation, you need to execute dhcpcd at default-runlevel. Likewise:

doas rc-update add dhcpcd default

After the next reboot there should be a connection available.
To test this on demand without a restart:

doas rc-service dhcpcd start

And:

doas rc-service dhcpcd status
