I've had a basic working libvirt configuration for years - a default
network, with a few VMs attached to it. It has suddenly stopped working
- for some reason, libvirt can't start the network:
*****
~# virsh net-start default
error: Failed to start network default
error: internal error: Failed to run firewall command iptables -w --table
filter --list-rules:
*****
When using virt-manager, I get:
*****
Error starting network 'default': internal error: Failed to run firewall
command iptables -w --table filter --list-rules:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have no idea what this means: iptables is installed, and "iptables -w
--table filter --list-rules" runs fine from the command line. Restarting
the libvirt-daemon service doesn't solve the problem. I've seen the
following reports, but I haven't found any solutions there for my case:
