That seems like a very valid objection. Could you please file a separate bug to throw an error in that case? I'll try to send a patch upstream to fix that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bu

I'd like to add to the discussion, that it's annoying that qemu does not complain when you try to invoke it with an option like: -net vde that qemu was built without kvm support. So a user, like myself, might spend hours trying to figure-out what's misconfigured and preventing qemu networking fr

What's the status on this? I've been wanting this for some time now too and the comments left here are not very clear as to what the actual stumbling block is for why this isn't fixed yet. Connecting n VMs together without connecting them to the host and without being root is possible in only two

Actually I have been using "-net tap". I don't run qemu-kvm as root per se, although the "tapper" script runs as root to bring configure the tap interface and assign it the user running qemu-kvm. Sufficient to say, VDE is more convenient to set up than bridging/tapping. -- You received this bug

I'd like to expand on Dwight's comments a bit. Qemu network cards have two sides, the side the VM sees (virtio is probably fastest, if you can get drivers for it), and the "backend", which is how that's connected to anything else. Here are the backends it has: -net user. Dirt simple to set up. Pur

NAT is of limited usefulness if I want to use network sevices provided by my VM guests. (ssh tunneling can be used but it makes for limited uselfulness). Bridging is invasive because it takes over the primary host networking interface (there may be ways around this, but they are not straight forwa

Thanks for submitting this bug. Indeed VDE support would be nice to have. The hangup is that libvde-dev is in universe, which will require a MIR (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess). Would you be willing to follow up on that? Setting this to Confirmed and Medium priority, and hopi
