Created attachment 500259 [details] deplist virt-manager Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add new virtual machine, install from ISO 2. Assign ISO image (local): Ubuntu 11.04 x64 3. Assigne 2 GB of 4 GB memory, 2 of 4 CPUs 4. Assign 15 GB disk space 5. create and answer "yes" to start new network Actual results: Installations stops Expected results: Installation should continue Additional info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/uihelpers.py", line 518, in validate_network virnet.create() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 935, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virNetworkCreate() failed', net=self) libvirtError: Interner Fehler Child process (/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override) exited with status 3.

The kernel message might be unrelated. It pops up frequently and not always related to virt-manager issues.
Hmm, it's tough to tell what the problem is here since we aren't reporting and stdout/stderr output from the failed dnsmasq process. Reassigning to libvirt
I think this might be the same issue but in F16alpha. I was doing an import of an existing disk image. This is the first VM on the host. It initially said something akin to network not started, starting network..

A dnsmasq exit status of 2 (as you've received) means that there was a problem setting up the socket to listen on the virbrX interface. This is usually caused by a system-wide instance of dnsmasq (configured from /etc/dnsmasq.conf") that is doing a global listen on all addresses/interfaces. I heard just yesterday that F16 is now mistakenly enabling dnsmasq by default, and am assuming a bug has been filed about that. As far as the original bug report- this message: > interfaceNumOfInterfaces:187 : Internal Error Retrieve number of interfaces > of host failed (netcf: unspecified error - errors in loading some config files) is something that was caused by non threadsafe code in the augeas library, and was fixed a few months ago. Can you verify whether the problem is still occurring on a fully updated F15 machine? If it is still occurring, please include the version of augeas, netcf, and libvirt on the system (output of "rpm -q" for each package) in your reply. Also, if the problem still occurs, try running "ncftool -d list --all" (ncftool is part of the package "netcf") and attach any error message that may be output.
Laine thanks!! systemctl stop dnsmasq.service systemctl disable dnsmasq.service Seems to work!!
This is the Fedora 16 Alpha Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735414
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Closing since the F16 bug basically covered this.
