KVM on Fedora 30, Error creating virtual network
-
@JaredBusch
I use a bridge onto the LAN for the production stuff. I've also got a test network that I created through virt-manager using most of the defaults that's just available internally to the host.Edit: just seen your reply. Yes that's exactly what's happening for me.
-
Thanks for testing - glad it's not just me! I haven't been able to find anything relating to the error on google. Maybe I just need to wait a few days to see if a fix comes along.
-
Obviously, for a new setup, this could be a huge problem. But for an existing setup, how often are you making new networks?
Making a virtual network should barely happen more often than making a new physical network.
It happens at design time.
-
Sure - but the reason I noticed this is because the test-network (which I setup when I setup the host) stopped working so the test machines connected to it lost their network. I couldn't reactivate this. The error message was the same as when trying to create a new virtual network.
Fortunately these are test machines so I can live without it for the moment.
A second test-network I'd set up on the same host is still working, which is strange.
-
I was able to create a virtual network.

I wonder what is different.

And your fedora 30 host was fully up to date?
I've finally found someone referencing the same error message: https://forums.whonix.org/t/installing-kvm-conflicting-directions/7582
It was 4 days ago so agrees with the theory that the error is caused by a very recent change in the packages.

Can you create it with virsh? Wondering if it's just a virt-manager issue since they are deprecating it.

Yes I just tried creating it with virsh and it was created without a problem.
However starting it leads to the same error: The name is not activatable.I didn't realise virt-manager was being deprecated. Is there a replacement planned?
-
@Doyler3000 Cockpit seems to be the contender to replace virt-manager. Still lacks some functionality but getting better with each update.

The release of RHEL 8. Cockpit is the replacement but it's not at feature parity yet. It feels like what VMware did with the web client and the thick client.

did vmware ever get feature parity?

Nice, and... that sucks.
-
In the interests of "closure", the plethora of libvirt updates which came down the line yesterday from fedora seem to have fixed the problem. I can now create virtual networks again. Yay!
-
In the interests of reopening the previous closure, virtual networks are broken again. I can't create or start virtual networks. Same 'name is not activatable ' rubbish
Annoying. -
And in cockpit, clicking on virtual networks causes an "unexpected internal error". So much for that replacing virt-manager.

Are you teaming any network interfaces?
Even with the latest version of cockpit I was still getting the oops response.
