Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Starting a kvm guest with: cat karmic vdekvm \ -m 256M \ -cpu host \ -smp 1 \ -name karmic \ -boot order=nc \ -drive file=/dev/vg01/test,if=virtio,boot=on,cache=none \ -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:2f:8d:b6:cf:d0,model=virtio \ -net vde,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde2/vde0.ctl \ -watchdog i6300esb \ -vnc :0 \ -serial telnet:localhost:23,server,nowait \ -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:12000,server,nowait \ -runas kvmguest shows: NOTE: vdekvm is now DEPRECATED -- both QEMU and KVM have native support for VDE. This binary will be removed soon from the distribution, consider stopping using it. arg ,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde2/vde0.ctl TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Invalid argument TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad address Changing vdekvm to kvm: sh karmic-guest-script Invalid -net type 'vde' The manpage already shows option vde, while the kvm-binary does not: kvm --help ... Network options: -net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=mac][,model=type][,name=str][,addr=str][,vectors=v] create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN 'n' -net user[,vlan=n][,name=str][,net=addr[/mask]][,host=addr][,restrict=y|n] [,hostname=host][,dhcpstart=addr][,dns=addr][,tftp=dir][,bootfile=f] [,hostfwd=rule][,guestfwd=rule][,smb=dir[,smbserver=addr]] connect the user mode network stack to VLAN 'n', configure its DHCP server and enabled optional services -net tap[,vlan=n][,name=str][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file][,downscript=dfile][,sndbuf=nbytes][,vnet_hdr=on|off] connect the host TAP network interface to VLAN 'n' and use the network scripts 'file' (default=/etc/qemu-ifup) and 'dfile' (default=/etc/qemu-ifdown); use '[down]script=no' to disable script execution; use 'fd=h' to connect to an already opened TAP interface use 'sndbuf=nbytes' to limit the size of the send buffer; the default of 'sndbuf=1048576' can be disabled using 'sndbuf=0' use vnet_hdr=off to avoid enabling the IFF_VNET_HDR tap flag; use vnet_hdr=on to make the lack of IFF_VNET_HDR support an error condition -net socket[,vlan=n][,name=str][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port] connect the vlan 'n' to another VLAN using a socket connection -net socket[,vlan=n][,name=str][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port] connect the vlan 'n' to multicast maddr and port -net dump[,vlan=n][,file=f][,len=n] dump traffic on vlan 'n' to file 'f' (max n bytes per packet) -net none use it alone to have zero network devices; if no -net option is provided, the default is '-net nic -net user' -netdev [user|tap|socket],id=str[,option][,option][,...] ... So the package seems only to be built partially against vde?
