Hello! I have installed KVM/QEMU on my LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) system. On this webpage I found some instructions howto setup the network: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking My first question is: For a public bridge, should I configure /etc/network/interfaces in order to create the bridge static. Or should I use a script to create a bridge dynamically when the virtual machine starts. Second question: I made some tests with this script that is shown in section public bridge -> Solution 2: manual: #!/bin/sh set -x switch=br0 if [ -n "$1" ];then ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/tunctl -u `whoami` -t $1 ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ip link set $1 up ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ sleep 0.5s ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif $switch $1 ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ exit 0 else ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ echo "Error: no interface specified" ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ exit 1 fi When I debug this script I can see that it always ends up in "Error: no interface specified": bash -x /usr/local/bin/networkbridge_setup.sh + set -x + switch=br0 + '[' -n '' ']' + echo 'Error: no interface specified' Error: no interface specified + exit 1 Why is that?
