Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.3 at least. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uninstall (if already installed) ebtables. 2. Start libvirtd 3. Try to start a guest that uses nwfilters. 4. Watch it fail. 5. Install ebtables and repeat steps 3 and 4. Actual results: It fails to notice that I've now installed ebtables (and gawk and iptables). Expected results: It should notice that these tools are now available. Additional info: The converse is also true: If they tools are present when libvirtd starts, but are removed later, things will fail.

There still seems to be some issues here but I don't really see it as worth fixing: iptables/ebtables are so commonly available, and this will only hit cases where people are building by hand and not using distribution packages. So we could extend the code to handle it, but frankly I don't think it's worth the effort of implementing. That said if someone shows up on the list with a simple patch I'm sure it will be accepted Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/684088/comments/7 ** Changed in: libvirt Status: Unknown => Won't Fix ** Changed in: libvirt Importance: Unknown => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684088 Title: libvirt should detect the presence of tools at use-time rather than at start-time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libvirt/+bug/684088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
