Hello. I'm trying to create an edgeLinux VM, and I'm having trouble with a particular part. After setting up and configuring them VM using the GUI, I get to a black screen asking for my username and password I give them (root, and the password I set up prior), but then I get an error saying "Failed to start edgeLinux installer, please check your network connection and reboot to try again". I can see the ethernet connection isn't setup, and can fix that using dhclient, but I can only seem to do that AFTER the installation fails, and rebooting causes the connection to not work again. I've tried this on 2 different host OS's each using different hypervisors, and have gotten the same outcome each time. What do I need to do to complete installation? Thank you.
Can't install edgeLinux on VM

Hi Zython:
Yes, I've seen this before when the Ethernet port is not enabled during installation.
When this happens, you can try enabling the connection with this command:
nmtui
Then Activate connection.
