"Select and install software" step failed on VM

What type of hardware are you using: Virtual machine
What YunoHost version are you running: yunohost-bookworm-12.0-amd64-stable.iso
How are you able to access your server: Direct access via physical keyboard/screen
Are you in a special context or did you perform specific tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?: My network bridge adapter has a different name that the expected according the documentation, is not wlan0 nor eth0

Describe your issue

To quickly test Yunohost I downloaded the iso for virtual machine, and set it up on VirtualBox Version 7.0.16_ubuntu r162802.

I configured the network as “Bridge Adapter”, with name “wlxd03745aba2c2” (my Wifi dongle).

I choose the default configuration proposed by Yunohost, and the install seemed to proceed well. But was interrupted by this error screen:
“! Installation step failed
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install software”

Retrying, skiping or using the text installer don’t solve the issue.

I wasn’t able to view the logs on mobile. But, did you choose “Debian” on os type? How much hardware resources did you allocate to the vm? Are there other settings you changed? Is there any important information about the host os/machine ?

Hi! thanks for the response.

The configuration for the VM is:
Type: Linux
Version: Debian 60bits
Base memory: 4096 MB
CPUs: 2
Video memory: 128 MB
Network: Bridge adapter, name: “wlxd03745aba2c2”

Storage: VDI drive (20 Gb)

All other parameters have their default value

The host machine is:
Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (64 bit)
Kernel Version: 6.8.0-60-generic
RAM: 31908 Mb
LANG: es_AR.UTF-8
SSD free space: 30 Gb

I’ve removed the extensions from VirtualBox, and disconnected all non essential USB devices from the host, just in case. With no luck.

Zbmlerf I’ve seen this once or twice in the past … somehow the hostname of the machine is just integer and postfix doesnt like that for some reason … (not really a yunohost issue per se …)

Thanks! Looks like I’m out of luck. Changing the hostname using the terminal in the installer don’t fix the issue. Fox some reason the installation process still sees the old weird hostname.

Will try installing using Debian.
