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... Additional info:
You need to install libvirt-daemon-config-network and restart libvirtd. virt-install should warn about this better.
Duh. Installing said rpm did indeed remove the warning. x
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
