Description of problem: it appears impossible to run libvirt daemon and dnsmasq at the same time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.8.3-2.fc14.x86_64 dnsmasq-2.52-1.fc13.x86_64 kernel version 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: # sudo service dnsmasq start # sudo virsh net-start default Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual results: error: Failed to start network default error: internal error '/sbin/iptables --table filter --delete INPUT --in-interface virbr0 --protocol udp --destination-port 69 --jump ACCEPT' exited with non-zero status 1 and signal 0: iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?). Expected results: both services start correctly Additional info: if i stop dnsmasq and then issue the command "sudo virsh net-start default" it starts correctly. if i start the default network usuing the "sudo virsh net-start default" command and then try to start dnsmasq service, i get this: # sudo service dnsmasq start Starting dnsmasq: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket: Address already in use [FAILED]
This is a known issue that requires a workaround in dnsmasq.conf: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirtd_and_dnsmasq
