 helper failed"
Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2016 22:40:15 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Motivation: bridging or routing is required to enable a connection to be
made inward to a QEMU VM. TAP seems like the best of the available
solutions. But connecting to a TAP device produces an error when the
QEMU bridge helper fails.

Example:

g1 <at> g1 ~/src/vmb$ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio -enable-kvm -m 4096 -k en-us -display curses /home/g1/src/vmb/tmp/img6/vm.img
failed to parse default acl file `/gnu/store/1072khbm9124a8a1pyyyw4mr1p12jsfq-qemu-2.6.0/etc/qemu/bridge.conf'
qemu-system-x86_64: -net bridge: bridge helper failed

This error was produced with the attached 'img-tap' script. e.g., to
build the vm ...

./img-tap mk 1

To (attempt to) run the vm ..

./img-tap run 1


Running Guix built from git checkout on GuixSD:
stat ~/.config/guix/latest | grep File:
  File: '/home/g1/.config/guix/latest' -> '../../src/guix'
g1 <at> g1 ~/src/vmb$ git -C ~/.config/guix/latest describe
v0.11.0-242-g7ccb874

Since a lot of things changed, is this bug report still relevant?  If
yes, what could be the next actionable step?  Otherwise, let close it or
mark it as wishlist.


All the best,

If no moreinfo is provided to detail what could the next actionable
step, then I will close this more-than-3-years bug report in the coming
days.

Hi Simon,

I can't easily provide more detail as I am not currently use QEMU.

Best, George

Therefore I am closing.  Feel free to reopen it and discuss the wishlist
on guix-devel.
