Public bug reported: Hi,
I am on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with libvirt-bin v1.3.1-1ubuntu10.15 When trying to hot add a NIC using virsh normally, it works. However, if I try to add a --model virtio, I get the following error: error: Failed to attach interface error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'getfd': No file descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS So this works: virsh attach-interface --domain mydomain --type network --source mytestnetwork --mac "02:20:c5:8b:22:12" --config --live but this fails: virsh attach-interface --domain mydomain --type network --source mytestnetwork --model virtio --mac "02:20:c5:8b:22:13" --config --live This is the exact same bug that was reported here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1322568 It was fixed in 14.04 but it looks like the bug fix never made it to Xenial I tested the bug fix mentioned in the link above (updating the AppArmor profile) and it works to resolve it here as well but I thought I'd open this bug report so others can benefit and the the bug can be fixed at the package level. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1739674 Title: virsh Fails at Hot Plugging Network Device with model virtio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1739674/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
