I’ve worked through a few issues and the thread here on how to properly setup VirtManager was very helpful: LINK
I initially had an issue with libvirtd it was looking for a user swtpm and I had to install the swtpm package as well. Then I could follow basically any tutorial on how to setup a bridge interface using nmcli.
I added a br0 device to virsh,
Name State Autostart Persistent
br0 active yes yes
default inactive no yes
So I feel like I’m pretty close. My current network setup is running through the bridge so it all works. FINALLY.
The one last thing I’m trying to get working is having my VM’s in VirtManager run on my br0 network. I update the virtual NIC under VM >> Hardware Information, and I set:
NetworkSoruce: Bridge Device
Device Name: br0
Device Model: virtio
And I get this error out. Any ideas?
