The three examples are essentially the same, apart that in the second one a place holder for fixed MAC address is provided (in the old ubuntu-vm-builder format), which is not mandatory. If what you are doing is what is described in 1 and 3 but is not working, then I would check that your bridging configuration on the host is working, as many of us are using this with success.

I haven't a clue. It produces a window which displays a machine boot sequence, which is what I expect to see. There's clearly large gaps in my understanding of what's going on. The sequence described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder "This page aims at documenting how to a create virtual appliance using Ubuntu Server Edition's JeOS and vmbuilder." This gave me hope regarding being able to build and use vm's but it seems the page presupposes a considerable amount of understanding I don't have. > You aren't > passing any parameters, other than the actual img/qcow2 to use. > Wouldn't it be better to launch it via "virsh", using the .cfg file that > the vmbuilder generated?

You aren't passing any parameters, other than the actual img/qcow2 to use. Wouldn't it be better to launch it via "virsh", using the .cfg file that the vmbuilder generated? Once inside virsh: "create /path/to/image.cfg" The the network settings you have set out will be applied to KVM as parameters.

When I do $ sudo kvm disk0.qcow2 then, on the vm $ ifconfig I have eth0 and lo configured, cannot reach the network.
