Unable to start network for VM
I running bazzite:stable with a few added layers such as the virtualization stuff. When I try to start the default network from virtman or CLI
e.g.
sudo virsh net-start default
i get
error: Failed to start network default
error: cannot create directory /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq: Permission denied
What's the recommended approach to get networking up and running ?Solution:Jump to solution
Also what do you get if you run
systemctl status libvirtd
If it's not enabled you might need to start it's service systemctl enable --now libvirtd?...13 Replies
Did you use the
ujust setup-virtualization command to set up the virtualisation?Solution
Also what do you get if you run
systemctl status libvirtd
If it's not enabled you might need to start it's service systemctl enable --now libvirtd?thx @wolfyreload I get this
trying that second command now
it definately enabled some stuff
I must have messed something up in the setup
will reboot and try again
try the UI for VMs now
I got permission issue again, when trying to bring the network up from virtmanager. But then I saw that libvirtd.service was not running. I started it manually. And then 💥 I could bring the network up from the GUI
i can manually start it I guess
the above was after a fresh reboot
Thx @wolfyreload
Sweet! Glad that helped 🙂
