 |
|
I would like to connect my virtual machine to the local network using tap networking (it is a test copy of a web server). How do I set this up? I tried the guide here: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/HelperNetworking but am getting the error message:
| Code: |
kai@kai-laptop gcbc_server % ./vm.sh
failed to drop privileges
failed to launch bridge helper
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev bridge,id=hn0: Device 'bridge' could not be initialized
|
vm.sh:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
# -net nic -net user,hostname=gcbc \
exec qemu-kvm \
-cpu host \
-drive file=debian_vm.img,if=virtio \
-netdev bridge,id=hn0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 \
-m 512M \
-monitor stdio \
-name "GCBC Debian" \
-vga std \
$@

Any suggestions?
Alternatively, if somebody could link a guide through how to manually set up tap so I don't use the helper script that would also work - at the moment I've found various ways of doing it and I don't know which is recommended for gentoo and up to date.
Thanks  |
