Peculiar :) Yes, "auto eth0" would be right for telling ifupdown that the interface should be brought up during (post-pivot) boot, and all in all /etc/network/interfaces would have the following as the only configruations for eth0: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.66/24 gateway 192.168.0.1 The previous setting that gives VM 10.0.2.15 would have been caused by a DHCP configuration, like: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp or by having some other networking tool such as wicd running. One way or the other it would have started a dhcp client that requests an address assignment via UDP broadcast, and something (either a dhcp service on DDD or on the network outside DDD) responded to offer 10.0.2.15 for the VM. If that client was a networking tool such as wicd then possibly that is still running and it now competes about the confgiuration of eth0 with ifupdown. Usually though it (wicd) would be more insistant and eventually take over, so you should then end up with a 10.0.2.0/24 address eventually, with some period of an unconfigured network.

I now use 'virt-manager' relatively painlessly. That IP may have been issued by a Qemu dhcp server. The first step is to confirm Qemu is not messing with stuff it shouldn't... Spin up the VM and confirm that your host network settings have not been altered/added to. You must do this when the VM is running. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I made an unofficial uefi minimal-live iso for 3.0.0 but that doesn't seem to be working now.

It all looks fine, and static setup should work. Possibly you left out the "auto eth0" or "allow-hotplug eth0" line?

[DNG] Assigning a specific subnet and address to a Devuan Beowulf Qemu guest
Hi all, My ultimate goal is to have a Devuan VM guest on my Void Linux Daily Driver Desktop (DDD) that acts like just another metal computer on my LAN at 192.168.0.0/24. I want it to have address 192.168.0.66. I've tried to do this sporadically over the past 2 years, never with success. Here's how far I've gotten: I have a shellscript called upnet.sh that sets up networking on my DDD, which has no /etc/network/interfaces and instead requires commands to set up the network. It also sets up network bridge br0 and tap tap0. It is shown immediately below: #!/bin/sh # MAKE SURE IP FORWARDING IS ENABLED echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # DEAL WITH HOSTNAME AND LOCALHOST hostname=`grep -v "^\s*#" /etc/hostname | head -n1` ip link set dev lo up # UNDO ANY POSSIBLE STUFF FROM PREVIOUS UPNET.SH ip link set dev tap0 down brctl delif br0 tap0 ip link set dev br0 down ip addr del 192.168.0.102/24 dev br0 ip addr del 192.168.0.2/24 dev br0 brctl delbr br0 ip link set dev enp40s0 down ip addr del 192.168.0.102/24 dev enp40s0 ip addr del 192.168.0.2/24 dev enp40s0 # BRING UP enp40s0 ip link set dev enp40s0 up ### GET br0 UP AND RUNNING WITH RIGHT IP ADDRESSES ip link add name br0 type bridge ip link set dev enp40s0 master br0 ip addr add 192.168.0.2/24 dev br0 ip addr add 192.168.0.102/24 dev br0 ip link set dev br0 up ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 ### DO THE TUN/TAP STUFF ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap brctl addif br0 tap0 ip link set dev tap0 up The ip link, ip addr, and ip route commands shows this works perfectly on my DDD. The shellscript that runs my Devuan VM follows: #!/bin/sh dvddir=/scratch/linuxinst/devuan/devuan_beowulf/installer-iso qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 \ -hda beowulf.disk \ -cdrom $dvddir/devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_amd64-desktop.iso \ -boot c -ctrl-grab -cpu max -vga std -enable-kvm \ -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=00:00:00:00:00:01 -net tap,ifname=tap0 The resulting Devuan VM guest works just fine, can ssh to my LAN computers, can ssh to my Internet host, but it's still 10.0.2.15 with default route 10.0.2.2. I want it 192.168.0.66 with default route 192.168.0.1. I tried setting the VM guest's /etc/network/interfaces to static with address 192.168.0.66, with the gateway, netmask etc set accordingly, but after doing that, ip addr on the VM showed no IP address at all. I feel like I'm closer than I've ever been before, but I'm not there yet. How do I set up my Devuan VM guest to 192.168.0.66, with proper gateway, etc, so it can be just another computer on my 192.168.0.0/24 LAN?

Here's a workaround until you find the solution: Once or twice in the past month I've posted a shellscript to toggle the synaptics touchpad on and off. Connect that to a convenient hotkey via your window manager, and every time it turns itself off, toggle it back on. This lets you continue working while you seek out the root cause.
