Describe your issue

Trying to follow the installation instruction for VirtualBox, I’m encountering network issues : it seems that bridged network in virtualbox has issues with IPv6 with wireless

Downloading steps in the installer are really slow. It seems wget is stuck until it times out.

This seems related to what’s addressed in: Fixing VirtualBox IPv6 connectivity on bridged wireless adapter

Using the ip neigh del approach seems useful.

Is this a known issue ?

The docs probably should provide some advice, in Install YunoHost | Yunohost Documentation, then ?

FWIW, I think I’ve found a workaround.

When the VM boots from the installation iso, choose text installer, instead of graphical. Then, later when the network lags (in my case during APT mirror checks), use Alt+F2 to switch to another virtual console, and inside busybox shell, use the following command to flush the ARP (?) neighborhood:

ip -6 neigh flush dev enp0s3

(assuming the bridged network is recognized as enp0s3 inside the VM)

this should help restart the stuck installation step, back in the original console (Alt+F1), and eventually complete install process.

Hope this helps,
