Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
I am using Jaunty amd64 with all updates (2009-03-29).
If I create a new VM using the “localhost (User)” connection, I am not presented with any networking options, and cannot use anything other than userspace networking.
If I add myself to the libvirtd group and create a new VM using the “localhost (System)” connection, I can choose between “Virtual network” and “Shared physical device”. Since all of the shared physical devices in the menu are grayed out with “(Not bridged)”, my only option is “Virtual network”, and the only network I can select is “default (Inactive)”.
If I then click “Forward”, I get this dialog box:
Virtual Network is Inactive
Virtual Network 'default' is not active. Would you like to start the network now?
[No] [Yes]
Upon clicking “Yes”, I receive this error:
Uncaught error validating input: internal error 'brctl setfd virbr%d 0' exited with non-zero status 1 and signal 0: set forward delay failed: No such device
Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/

if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virNetworkCre
libvirtError: internal error 'brctl setfd virbr%d 0' exited with non-zero status 1 and signal 0: set forward delay failed: No such device
Perhaps this is a bad interaction with libvirt-

The problem goes away if I replace virbr%d with virbr0 in /etc/libvirt/ qemu/networks/ default. xml. That lets the “default” network start up as active rather than inactive.
