Question

I’ve received an VM to work on. It worked opening it but it doesn’t connect automatically at the Internet, and I need the connection to update my revision througout svn.

Is there any setting to do on VMware 7 or from ubuntu command line to solve this?

ping: unknown host google.com // this is what I get when running ping
could not resolve hostname '...' // this is at svn up

cat /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 172.16.90.2
domain localdomain
search localdomain

ifconfig

inet addr: 127.0.0.1

Meanwhile I’ve found the solution if anyone has this problem:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
- now, delete everything in this file past the initial comment
- save the file and close it
- then restart the vm and your network should work

Answer 1

If you have no address other then 127.0.0.1 then you won’t be able to go out to the net.

The 127.0.0.1 is a loopback interface connecting back to your own machine. So you would need to go into the settings for your virtual machine and check the network configuration and also set an IP address for interface(s) other then lo0.
