That seems like a very valid objection. Could you please file a separate bug to throw an error in that case? I'll try to send a patch upstream to fix that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu.

I'd like to add to the discussion, that it's annoying that qemu does not complain when you try to invoke it with an option like: -net vde that qemu was built without kvm support. So a user, like myself, might spend hours trying to figure-out what's misconfigured and preventing qemu networking

A previous commented noted the MIR which would have been needed to move vde2 into main so that qemu could depend on it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vde2/+bug/776818 It was rejected by the security team. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

What's the status on this? I've been wanting this for some time now too and the comments left here are not very clear as to what the actual stumbling block is for why this isn't fixed yet. Connecting n VMs together without connecting them to the host and without being root is possible in only

I'd like to expand on Dwight's comments a bit. Qemu network cards have two sides, the side the VM sees (virtio is probably fastest, if you can get drivers for it), and the backend, which is how that's connected to anything else. Here are the backends it has: -net user. Dirt simple to set up. Pure

Actually I have been using -net tap. I don't run qemu-kvm as root per se, although the tapper script runs as root to bring configure the tap interface and assign it the user running qemu-kvm. Sufficient to say, VDE is more convenient to set up than bridging/tapping. -- You received this bug

Thanks for submitting this bug. Indeed VDE support would be nice to have. The hangup is that libvde-dev is in universe, which will require a MIR (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess). Would you be willing to follow up on that? Setting this to Confirmed and Medium priority, and
