I hosed up the configuration of libvirt on Cinnamon, trying to change the network definition.
\nIt was so fouled up I decided to remove and reinstall libvirtd-bin, qemu, and virt-manager.
\nAfter the reinstall, the default network did not reappear, and I went looking for how to reinstall it. In the end I had to piece together various information, but the upshot is that the definition of networks for libvirt is in \/usr\/share\/libvirt\/networks. This directory was missing for me, and I had to recreated it:<\/p>\n
root@cinnamon:~# mkdir \/usr\/share\/libvirt\/networks
\nroot@cinnamon:~# cd \/usr\/share\/libvirt\/networks
\nroot@cinnamon:\/usr\/share\/libvirt\/networks# touch default.xml
\nroot@cinnamon:\/usr\/share\/libvirt\/networks# chmod 0777 default.xml
\nroot@cinnamon:\/usr\/share\/libvirt\/networks# emacs default.xml<\/p>\n
What I put into the file was:
\n<network>
\n<name>internal<\/name>
\n<bridge name=”virbr0″ \/>
\n<forward\/>
\n<ip address=”192.168.122.1″ netmask=”255.255.255.0″>
\n<dhcp>
\n<range start=”192.168.122.2″ end=”192.168.122.254″\/>
\n<\/dhcp>
\n<\/ip>
\n<\/network><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
