Created attachment 425886 [details] network interface management in virt-manager Description of problem: According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Shared_Network_Interface virt-manager should be able to configure network bridges in Fedora 13. However, when opening virt-manager->Host details->Network interfaces, I see message: "libvirt connection does not support interface management" and everything grayed out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.7.7-4.fc13.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.7.7-4.fc13.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.7.7-4.fc13.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.500.3-1.fc13.noarch virt-manager-0.8.4-1.fc13.noarch virt-top-1.0.4-3.fc13.x86_64 virt-viewer-0.2.1-1.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Shared_Network_Interface#How_To_Test 2. After step 2, everything is disabled and error message displayed Actual results: libvirt can't manage network bridges Expected results: libvirt can manage network bridges Additional info: See screenshot
Are you sure you have a hypervisor installed? It worked for me once I installed qemu-kvm.
# rpm -qa '*kvm*' '*virt*' '*qemu*' | sort etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-18.fc13.noarch gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.0-1.fc13.noarch libvirt-0.8.2-1.fc13.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.8.2-1.fc13.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.8.2-1.fc13.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.500.3-4.fc13.noarch qemu-common-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64 qemu-img-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.4-2.fc13.noarch virt-top-1.0.4-3.fc13.x86_64 virt-viewer-0.2.1-1.fc13.x86_64 Both libvirt and virt-manager works fine for me and I use them often, but I just can't manage my interfaces using them. Surprisingly enough I have seen at my colleague's that he's able to manage his interfaces using virt-manager. He also has Fedora 13. I wonder where the difference is.
Same here. F13 / 32bit
I mean, same problem. It does not work on F13/32bit. # rpm -qa '*kvm*' '*virt*' '*qemu*' | sort gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.0-1.fc13.noarch libvirt-0.8.2-1.fc13.i686 libvirt-client-0.8.2-1.fc13.i686 libvirt-python-0.8.2-1.fc13.i686 python-virtinst-0.500.3-4.fc13.noarch python-virtkey-0.50-6.fc12.i686 qemu-common-0.12.3-8.fc13.i686 qemu-img-0.12.3-8.fc13.i686 qemu-kvm-0.12.3-8.fc13.i686 qemu-system-x86-0.12.3-8.fc13.i686 virt-manager-0.8.4-2.fc13.noarch
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This seems to be fixed for me in Fedora 14.
