[SOLVED] Can't start virtual machine using libvirt and virt-manager

Hi everyone!

After updating to libvirt 0.8.7 I can't start my guest machine (it's Fedora 14), that worked flawlessly so far.

When I try to boot the machine from virt-manager (with libvirtd running and kvm and kvm-intel modules loaded, of course) I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 878, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1321, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 330, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: Interner Fehler Network 'default' is not active.

Something tells me that this should be relatively easy to fix, but I can't find a solution.

Thanks in advance for any helpful information.

I had the same problem.  Looks like there is a missing dependency on iproute.

pacman -S iproute did the trick for me.

Cheers,

Dan
