A few days ago I ran "zypper dup". Since then starting libvirtd fails:

Where do you see that it fails? Is something not working for you?

# rpm -qf /etc/issue.net openSUSE-release-20210121-846.1.x86_64

# rpm -qi libvirt | grep ^Version

This log entry informs you that initialization of libnetcontrol failed since you are using NetworkManager instead of wicked for network management.

Jan 24 09:34:52 asus systemd[1]: Started Virtualization daemon. Jan 24 09:36:52 asus systemd[1]: libvirtd.service: Succeeded.

Here we can see libvirtd started successfully. What problem are you seeing other than the notice that interface device management is disabled? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks for having taken a look. Enabling libvirtd networking failed because of another reason (firewalld issue). I agree that libvirtd started successfully. In other words, the only issue here is that the following message is reported: "Failed to initialize libnetcontrol. Management of interface devices is disabled".

Ok. If you want that message to go away then use wicked instead of NetworkManager for your host network management. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
