[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#626166: virt-manager: Fails to create nat-ed network on host

[Olivier Berger]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.7-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

This looks similar to what is reported in #615907, but relates to NAT-ed local network.

Here's the traceback I get when I create a "default" network with these parameters :
192.168.122.0/24
gateway : 192.168.122.1
netwmask : 255.255.255.0
with DHCP betw :
192.168.122.128
192.168.122.254
connectivity : NAT

I get :
Error creating virtual network: internal error Child process (dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range 192.168.122.128,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases --dhcp-lease-max=127 --dhcp-no-override) status unexpected: exit status 2

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
