How can i solve that by hands? (I'm also trying to solve the problem by installing ovs, using rpm build.) There are not only fedora or ubuntu linux, so the solution may exist. Are there a way to get libvirt to recognize ovs-vsctl? (As i mentioned above, ovs-vsctl and ovs are properly working)</div> <div> </div> <div> Thank you for reading.</div> </div></body></html>
