My 'vmhost' machine which runs all my production server VMs uses the old 'network' service (and has bridging set up the really-old-skool way). I haven't done any ninja magic to turn off NetworkManager, I haven't even removed it. All I did, years ago, was: systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl enable network.service that's worked, ever since, across multiple updates, upgrades and system restarts. I've never had a problem. Is there some problem I'm unaware of which means it's not this easy to turn off NM in some situation that doesn't match mine? > Nowadays there should be a NetworkManager UI solution but it hasn't been > advertised very much and isn't entirely straightforward: > > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-January/194003.html > > I think someone needs to blog about it with screenshots, then we can link to > it with all the fedora virt and upstream libvirt pages. > > > > > > > We've failed hard in 19/20 on bridging and it's burnt me so much, I want to > > add a test case for Fedora 21 on this, where can I do this? > > > > Fedora test day test case template: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:QA/Test_Case > > Maybe add a network manager bridge UI test case for the gnome test day, but > you'll have to check with the folks who run it.

I think there's an old one but it should be bumped and modernized. It would be nice to try and ensure NM and virt-manager are singing from the same hymn sheet and there's some nice documentation somewhere about the "Proper Way" to set up bridging with modern virt-manager and NetworkManager, indeed. Shouldn't it be possible to just pointy-clicky it from virt-manager by now, in an Ideal World? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
