December 6, 20223 yr Hi so I need to create new VW with LUBUNTU installed but I have big problem. Once I create VM all looks fine (br0 direct bridge) but when I save my config - network interface in config disappears and I see only this: And when trying to install Lubuntu there is no network interface. How can I enable network interface there? How I can install guest drivers if not having internet connection? Cannot use apt-install. It never happened to me earlier on my other Unraid server but I installed my last VM few years ago and perhaps I miss something here?
December 6, 20223 yr Interfaces only show here once you've installed qemu-guest-agent in the VM. The VM would typically still have a connection working even if it doesn't show up there. What unraid version? Edited December 6, 20223 yr by Kilrah
December 6, 20223 yr Author 6.11.5 and no network interfaces at all there. Never had such issues before.
February 9, 20233 yr Having the same issue on 6.11.5, Dockers are all getting access to br0 no problem, but VMs can't get on the network and it just says guest agent not installed. This is a fresh install of unraid I am using to test out the software before deciding totally on going forward with it. Edited February 9, 20233 yr by Deadpool1985

You have the virtio iso mounted, but did you install the package in the VM from it?

February 9, 20233 yr You can also use E1000 as the network adapter in the VM templates and it'll work out of the box no problems
February 9, 20233 yr For some reason it only shows the interfaces for my Manjaro VM and not Windows...granted all 3 are working networking included but that looks to be a bug.

February 10, 20233 yr I did not have it installed, I do now. Looks good on Win 10 but not working on Win 11...but I really doubt I will be using those on this anyway these are just tests. But I did install it on Win10/11 and works on 10:

September 2, 20241 yr I had the same issue. A fix for me was to copy the MSI to C:\Temp and install it from there.
