I did a fresh install on an 86 machine running Fadora 38. I followed all the guidlines under the install section. I used the KVM image and followed the KVM-(virt-manager) directions. When I reboot I get a "shell" prompt, but HA does not start.

On the VM "display" you will not get anything more than a shell prompt

#

The user interface is accessible with a webbrowser and the address http://homeassistant.local:8123

The problem is that that does not work. I tried "homeassistant.local:8123, homeassistant:8123, and the ip of the computer 192.168.1.97:8123. I get the message that it cannot connect. conection refused

Is the network configured correctly?

I believe so, but since I am new to this Im not sure. I chose the NAT option (rather than bridge).

Use bridge

I tried that but I didnt know what to use for the name. I tried the ip address, then the mac address, but it didnt accept either. What would I put there?

~~Usually virtbr0 is used as bridge name~~

Thanks I'll try that and be back later

If you are still here. It didn't work. Says, Unable to complete install. Cannot get interface MTU on virtbr0: no such device

I used virbr0 and it took that. But still no connection.
