Issue with virt-manager

swarfendor437 · 2025-02-10 00:04

Hi, I have an issue after creating vm's, and after installing them to a virtual disk everything is fine until I start a fresh session. All VM's (apart from Zorin) can't boot due to Network issue. I have checked my permissions and am in the correct group regarding this issue. So each time I start virt manager, select a VM, I then have to go to Details, remove the NIC listed then add it again before it will launch. Any ideas?

It works in Zorin 17 which is Ubuntu based so its providing something that the other distros youre using dont. Im betting those distros are Debian based as Ive seen online some posts about issues similar but not exactly the same. You might want to search online and see if anything comes up. Its more than likely a configuration issue, such as auto-start isnt set with thoise other distros.

You don't say what the error message is, but if it is this
"Error starting domain. Requested operation is not valid. Network 'default' is not active."
You need to run

sudo virsh net-start default

then it will work.
I have an alias in my .bashrc that does

alias vm='sudo virsh net-start default && virt-manager'

so I just have to open a terminal and type vm to make it all work in one go.

If that was not the error then please post more details of what you are seeing.

Hi bin. Added the .bashrc lines as per your post but I am still getting this issue.
