#Virtualbox linux mint 18.3 Pc

I attempted to change the Adapter Type, from what it was, “Intel Pro/1000” to “PCnet-FAST III”, again no difference. I installed the Guest Additions, and while the tools installed successfully, the Guest Additions made no difference. I’m a CLI guy, as much as I love a GUI, I almost always use the Terminal first.

Now, back to the present time… So, I recently upgraded VirtualBox to v5.2.14 and after doing so my Ubuntu Virtual Machine would no longer automatically connect the LAN Connection or receive a DHCP address. Instead of starting over, I used Clonezilla to create a disk image of the hard disk, take that image and then turn it into a virtual machine.

The hardware on the PC went south but the hard drive still worked, and because that Ubuntu installation has my Let’s Encrypt setup, I did not want to lose the hard work I put into that machine. My reason is simple, this particular Ubuntu Virtual Machine used to be a physical PC. Ok, I think we need a bit of history here, you’re probably asking yourself, “Why is he running Ubuntu in a Virtual on top of Linux?” Obviously, there are many reasons why this is done, from testing Linux Distros to running specific environments for some other reason. Before the upgrade, everything worked great, after not so much. On this VirtualBox, I run another Linux Distro Ubuntu 17.04 as a Virtual Machine. I recently upgraded my version of VirtualBox on Linux Mint 18.3, to a newer version 5.2.14.
