Cant start virtual network

virt-manager output:

Welcome to Gentoo!
Try
| Code: |
echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" > /etc/sysctl.d/ip_forward.conf
sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/ip_forward.conf
|
Is your kernel configured for networking?
I am not sure if you need it for ip forwarding but for sure you need a full network stack with iptables and all for libvirt.
Have you installed libvirt?
You need libvirt for virt-manager.
Qemu is not enough.

Same error:
| Code: | echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" > /etc/sysctl.d/ip_forward.conf
sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/ip_forward.conf
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: No such file or directory |

I am using minimal kernel config and my network is working fine except for this. When I ran | Code: | | virsh net-start default |
the first time it showed that I am missing a kernel module so I checked the wiki and enabled some parameters, recompiled the kernel and now it shows only "failed to enable IP forwarding". I guess maybe there is some kernel parameters that I missed or some use flags.
| Quote: | | Have you installed libvirt? |
Yes, with these use flags
| Code: | | app-emulation/libvirt-9.5.0:0/9.5.0::gentoo USE="libvirtd qemu udev virt-network -apparmor -audit -bash-completion -caps -dtrace -firewalld -fuse -glusterfs -iscsi -iscsi-direct -libssh -libssh2 -lvm -lxc -nfs -nls -numa (-openvz) -parted -pcap -policykit -rbd -sasl (-selinux) -test -verify-sig -virtualbox -wireshark-plugins -xen -zfs" |
and iptables
| Code: | | net-firewall/iptables-1.8.9:0/1.8.3::gentoo USE="(split-usr) -conntrack -netlink -nftables -pcap -static-libs" |

| Is CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL disabled in the kernel? This option will be necessary for ip_forward to exist. |

Yes it was disabled. I recompiled the kernel and now everything works. Thanks. |
