I can confirm that installing qemu-system-x86 version 1.5.0+dfsg- 3ubuntu5.2 from saucy-proposed fixes this bug. (The vm runs very slowly (maybe it is software emulation), but it must be an unrelated problem.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202839 Title: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1202839/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1202839] Re: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere
I'm trying to build a network simulation using multiple VMs and bridges on my desktop system, and manually configuring TAP interfaces as requirements change is quite cumbersome. I had this working about a year ago using the helper with locally configured capabilities, so I'd very much like to see the qemu-bridge-helper added to saucy. I'm happy to provide a description of the capability configuration for a README if that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202839 Title: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1202839/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

qemu in trusty again ships the helper.

The debian bug for this is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691138 . I hope to find time to help work out a better helper. In the meantime though, as people were using the helper, I will re-enable it in ubuntu (non-setuid-root). As soon as t opens I will push qemu 1.6 to it, and re-enable it there. Then I'll SRU that change to raring and saucy. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #691138 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691138 ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist = Low ** Also affects: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu Saucy) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202839 Title: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1202839/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1202839] Re: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere
It is great to have the qemu-bridge-helper binary though if someone like me does not want to use libvirt. With a note in a README in /usr/share/doc/ signaling the suid or cap_net_admin was missing, it would be more useful than just removing the binary. In quantal, adding the right permission was easy. In raring I had to take the binary from quantal distribution (hopefully the binary and linked libraries are compatible). So please consider to add the binary again in some package since someone could easily install the package and add the permission to qemu-bridge- helper if one wants to do it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202839 Title: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1202839/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1202839] Re: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere
Note that in quantal that file is shipped without CAP_NET_ADMIN and not suid-root. Therefore it was useless to its intended purpose there. The point of that file is to allow unprivileged users to create tap devices for their VMs. You can create tap devices yourself for that purpose easily, or use libvirt to do it for you. Shipping this file and a bridge.conf configuration file isn't out of the question, but would need to be vetted by the security team. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202839 Title: qemu-bridge-helper missing from qemu-kvm or elsewhere To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1202839/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
