LibreElec OVA on VMware Workstation 15.0.2 network issues

gjstroom · February 24, 2019 at 2:03 PM

I try to run libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.1-nightly-x.ova on VMware workstation 15.0.2.

Default I can't get any connection, there's one bridged lan adapter installed.

When I add an second lan adapter in nat mode, this one works, when making an ssh to the nat ip, I see only 1 networkadapter. I checked both adapaters are connected in the VMware GUI.

I can remove the first bridged adapter, the second NAT nic keeps working. I can also change it to bridged.

For some reason only Network adapter 2 works for Libreelec ?

I'm unable to reproduce on Fusion 11.0.2, the 9.0.1 ova just works as normal/expected.

The same problem occurs with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0.1.ova.

I can can make it work by adding a second network adapter but for some weird reason the first adapter is not detected by LibreELEC.

Running VMware® Workstation 15 Pro 15.0.2 build-10952284, no problems with other Windows and Linux vm's.
