I’m trying to install the Arch-based Linux distro Hyperbola in a VM. I already have a networking VM that provides Internet access to all my other VMs.
I am following the “Wired” subsection of the ‘Connect to the Internet’ section of the Hyperbola installation guide (which is here: en:manual:reference_installation [HyperWiki]).
I’m assuming I have to set up a static ip address. So I used the IP and Netmask that are listed in the ‘Net qube’ section of the Hyperbola VM’s Settings to first add my IP address:
ip addr add ip_address/subnetmask dev interface_name
The next step is to add the gateway. I used the Gateway address from the VM Settings, similar to what I did in the previous step:
ip route add default via ip_address
At this point, I received the following error:
Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.
I did look up this error, but it seems I’d have to learn a lot more networking to understand what is being discussed. The Qubes documentation lacks specifics on network configuration.
Is there a simple explanation as to what I should do next?
