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,

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 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,

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
