[Swan-dev] testing: how to initialize the virtual network

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

| may be the virtual network is not in auto start?
| you could change that from GUI, using virt-manager too. 
| 
| on file level /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart  
| should have sym links to the corresponding ones in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks 
| 
| e.g /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart 
| 192_9_4.xml -> ../192_9_4.xml

Thanks for the useful hints.

Perhaps that should be in the testing setup scripts.

Anyway, I tried something else.  I looked in the
testing/libvirt/install.sh script and was inspired to do these
commands:
	cd testing/libvirt/net
	for i in * ; do sudo virsh net-start $i ; done
That seemed to work.

Now on to the next problem.  When I try to "run" east from the GUI
VMM, it says:

    Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting
    to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev
    socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/east.monitor,server,nowait:
    Failed to bind socket: Permission denied
    chardev: opening backend "socket" failed

I don't know what to make of that.

Here's the traceback:
