Description virt-manager miss privnet option in xml file when creating lxc guest using operating system container Refer to bug 1040311 comment 1: If you are running a full operating system in LXC, you *must* have a private network namespace either by adding an <interface> or by requesting a new namespace with <features> <privnet/> </features> Also privnet option from libvirt.org: Always create a private network namespace. This is automatically set if any interface devices are defined. This feature is only relevant for container based virtualization drivers, such as LXC. Version: virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. add the following yum repo #vim /etc/yum.repos.d/yum-fedora.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releaseverkeepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 installonly_limit=3 [fedora] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=1 metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch [updates] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 2.#yum -y --nogpg --releasever=19 --config=/etc/yum.repos.d/yum-fedora.conf --installroot=/var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora install systemd passwd yum redhat-release vim-minimal openssh-server procps 3. #echo "pts/0" >> /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64/etc/securetty 4. #vi /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64/etc/pam.d/login commnent out the following lines #session required pam_selinux.so close #session required pam_loginuid.so 5.add root user and the passwd. #chroot /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 /bin/passwd root 6.Launch virt-manager. 7.Click "Create a new virtual machine" 8.input vm name,select "Localhost(LXC)" in "Connetion" 9.select "operating system container" and click "Forward" 10.Browse to path of rootfs.fedora,in this case is /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 11.set Memory and cpu ,and click "Forward" 12.click "Advanced options", click "Finish" 13.Check the xml file of lxc guest,no privnet included in the xml file. # virsh -c lxc:/// dumpxml test <domain type='lxc' id='19189'> <name>test</name> <uuid>f8d0a364-3e45-1acd-b43e-7b57ad7b02c2</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> <interface type='network'> <mac address='00:16:3e:5f:25:06'/> <source network='default'/> <target dev='veth0'/> </interface> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1'> <source path='/dev/pts/1'/> <target type='lxc' port='0'/> <alias name='console0'/> </console> </devices> <seclabel type='none'/> </domain> Actual results: As description.

this improvement is now upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2014-March/msg00032.html I am going to close it as WONTFIX, as it is not worth of a back-port at this late stage. Please re-open if you disagree with me or if it is affecting any user.
