The problem is not really in libvirt, which calls dnsmasq with the appropriate settings to limit itself to the right interface. It's in dnsmasq, which by default binds to all interfaces, thus preventing the dnsmasq-from-libvirt from serving its addresses.
I tend to agree with Soren and Neal : yes, that's a conflict configuration case (like if you install two web servers that try to run on the same port), and yes, since it's not that obvious that libvirt runs a DHCP server, we should try to make the potential problem (and solution) more discoverable by documentation. -- packages dnsmasq and libvirt-bin conflict with each other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231060 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
