General Discussion / OPNsense Keeps Booting and running from Live Mode.
« on: September 29, 2022, 01:27:51 am »
Hello!
I am trying to install OPNsense onto my Virtualbox VM. I am using the ISO from their website and when I boot up the machine, it starts running in "live mode from install media". I then login as installer and select what I would like, and while it appears to work and I can configure it, it resets itself into live mode when I reboot the machine. I have reinstalled the machine completely a couple of times trying to figure out what the issue is and why it does not save anything and ACTUALLY install the firewall on the machine, but I have no solution. When watching setup videos, a line that does not come up on their tutorials but it DOES come up on mine is this: "pw: no such user 'installer' " . I am not sure if this is the source of the issue but I also do not know how to fix because I am very new to this space. I appreciate any help!! I have also attached a screenshot of what it looks like. Thanks for any help.
