Dear list, I'm trying to package libvirt 0.8.1 for our distribution, Pardus 2009.2. libvirt is installed perfectly normal, and libvirtd runs OK when I start it in a console using root account. However, when I start libvirtd as a service, with the same parameters, through the normal service startup functions, it segfaults. The services in Pardus 2009.2 are started using a management backend which works with python and service start/stop scripts are python based. For libvirt, it's the following: <a href="http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/ozan/libvirt/comar/service.py">http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/ozan/libvirt/comar/service.py</a> Whatever I did, I couldn't find why libvirt is crashing. It works normal when I run it from console with exactly the same parameters. Here's an earlier syslog section ending with the crash: <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> May 21 17:34:31 voyager kernel: [148326.330658] Bridge firewalling registered May 21 17:34:31 voyager kernel: [148326.626654] virbr0: starting userspace STP failed, starting kernel STP May 21 17:34:31 voyager avahi-daemon[559]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface virbr0.IPv4 with address 192.168.122.1.
