2) In the FAQ, under "networking is unavailable in virt-manager / virsh - libvirt's default network fails to start", it says "Here is a list of the networking-related packages that need to be installed for libvirt networking to work properly:". But it does not say if those packages are supposed to be installed on the host or the guest! It might be obvious to you, but it isn't to me.
URL of the FAQ page with the missing information?
Oops! It's question 1.3.11, at http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ#networking_is_unavailable_in_virt-manager_....
Offhand, I suspect this is in reference to the host (particularly since the guest need not run Linux in the first place);
Good point. I *knew* someone on this list would have a better understanding than me!
3) In http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Guest_configuration, it says "the following XML would be used in the guest:" ... but it doesn't say WHERE to put that configuration! Is it a snippet to add to an existing file? A new file I have to create? Something else? Very frustrating! ;-(
A snippet to add to the existing <domain> XML that you would see using 'virsh edit' (or with the virDomainDefineXML() API).
OK. What's <domain>? "virsh list" doesn't list anything, despite the fact that I still have one VM visible in the virt-manager GUI. (FWIW, consider me a libvirt novice, despite trying out virt-manager every year or so for the last 3 years or so. I've just never had much luck with it. I finally got annoyed enough to dig into the docs a little bit, which just got me more annoyed, so here I am.) Thanks -- Greg
