Description Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 2013-06-25 17:25:58 UTC

Description of problem:

In the past (F18) I believe when running virt-install on a freshly installed system the virt-install would use NAT and dnsmasq to setup a tunnel for a freshly launched guest. Not anymore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-install-0.10.0-0.5.gitde1695b2.fc19.noarch


How reproducible:

virt-install -l http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-RC1/Fedora/i386/ --ram 1024 --disk /dev/vg_guest/guest --name F18_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virt-install -l http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-RC1/Fedora/i386/ --ram 1024 --disk /dev/vg_guest/guest --name F18_64
2.
3.

Actual results:

WARNING  KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'
ERROR    Error in network device parameters: Virtual network 'default' does not exist: Network not found: no network with matching name 'default'

Expected results:
WARNING  KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

Starting install...
Retrieving file .treeinfo...

You need to install libvirt-daemon-config-network and restart libvirtd. virt-install should warn about this better.

Comment 2 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 2013-06-26 15:52:44 UTC

Duh. Installing said rpm did indeed remove the warning.

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2013-08-31 17:28:19 UTC

Actually, rather than add plumbing to give a warning about a distro specific package to install, we should just double down on recommending 'yum groupinstall Virtualization' which does the correct thing here. There are bigger fish to fry
