Package: qemu-kvm Version: 0.12.4+dfsg-1 Severity: minor
I finally got "-net tap" to work properly! (wishlist: the documentation on networking could be greatly improved...) My command line (somewhat simplified) is: $ kvm -cpu host -m 2G -drive file=image.qcow2,index=0,cache=writeback,media=disk -vga std -soundhw ac97 -net nic,macaddr=$macaddress,model=e1000 -net tap and this leads, by default, to the following error message on exit: /etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown: could not launch network script Of course, as /etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown does not exist. Rather than adding ",downscript=none" perhaps the debian package should install one, such as #! /bin/sh # Script to bring a network (tap) device for qemu-kvm down (or containing a better comment, stating why no action is necessary).
