Good day all,
I have having an issue starting virtual networks defined within
libvirt:
virsh # net-start cmdb
error: Failed to start network cmdb

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/cmdb.conf --

unexpected exit status 2:
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 172.26.80.1: Address
already in use
I saw similar reports recently and from the system journal noticed that named
started listening on the address as soon as it appeared, before dnsmasq could
begin listening. Is the named service running on your system? If so, you could
try disabling it and then check if the cmdb network successfully starts.
