[libvirt-users] virt-install: "ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options"

Tue Feb 7 12:42:03 UTC 2012

I do bridged network here.
Then i told via virsh to use the bridge.
"virt-manager" is doing the rest.

i use these useflags:

app-emulation/libvirt: debug elibc_glibc json libvirtd lxc macvtap nfs 
nls numa pcap policykit python qemu sasl udev virt-network

virt-manager: policykit

app-emulation/qemu-kvm: aio alsa jpeg ncurses opengl png 
qemu_softmmu_targets_i386 qemu_softmmu_targets_x86_64 
qemu_user_targets_i386 qemu_user_targets_x86_64 sdl spice ssl threads 
vde vhost-net

Michal helped with the useflags on libvirt.
Maybe these works for you.
