Workstation on Kodachi has no Network


Hello,


im using the kodachi os and i want to use vmware workstation pro on it. I already have installed workstation and also it runs, but i don't get a network access inside the vm. When i try to open the virtual network editor kodachi say me following error: "Network configuration is missing. Ensure that /etc/vmware/networking exists." -

I already asked in a linux group and i got the reply that the problem is a firewall issue. And that workstation needs some ports open in the firewall. Unfortunately i couldn't get more help.

Honestly i don't know much about linux and i have no idea how i can solve this issue. I hope somebody of you can help me to fix this issue that i can use my workstation.
I tried as alternativ virtualbox, it runs and also the network inside the vm works but the programm is to slow and dont have all functions i need.

I don't know much about Kodachi, but I use virt-manager in Debian, works fine for most things. If you install virt-manager and qemu, that should get you going with KVM based vms. KVM is the built in to the kernel.

It (virt-manager) has a simple interface (the nitty gritty is a menu away) and a wizard for vm creation as well.

It's a feature not a fault!
From Kodachi presentation on Distrowatch

The distribution filters all network traffic through a VPN and the Tor network, obscuring the user's network location.
You have to connect your VM to Kodachi VPN not to physical interface directly it seems.
