Public bug reported: If you screw up the xml file /var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml and then restart it doesn't tell you what you did wrong or indeed there was any mistake - it just rewrites it with its best parse.
I'm ok with it rewriting it but it should give some diagnostics to let you know what's going on! I don't see anything logged anywhere, and there is no /var/log/libvirt entry for libvirt itself. (I can see an argument that says if it hit things that were unexpected it shouldn't start and rewrite the file, it should tell you and get you to fix it - but that's not my primary issue). It might not be a bad idea if it pointed you at: /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/network.rng Dave ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: libvirt-bin 0.7.5-5ubuntu27 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CheckboxSubmission: f2d10bd9f943a85b486a282e7840a570 CheckboxSystem: 0531969bcfd4f03af7405c98dc94a948 Date: Sun May 16 17:01:04 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libvirt ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug lucid -- No diagnostics on incorrect network xml file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- 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
