My VMs don't get IP with libvirt and dnsmasq

[Computers Issues]

Hello there,

I wanted to share a problem I'm having with libvirt, for the case someone
here could know how to solve it.

I'm using an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I have libvirtd already installed and I
think I got all the dependencies installed. So, I'm using virsh net-create
to create this network:

<network>
    <name>pepito</name>
    <forward mode='nat'/>
    <bridge name='virbr2' stp='on' delay='0'/>
    <ip address='192.168.150.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
        <dhcp>
            <range start='192.168.150.2' end='192.168.150.254'/>
        </dhcp>
    </ip>
</network>

And then I create a domain with this xml:

<domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
  <name>ARM</name>
  <memory unit='KiB'>262144</memory>
  <currentMemory unit='KiB'>262144</currentMemory>
  <os>
    <type arch='armv7l' machine='virt-2.9'>hvm</type>
    <kernel>~/zImage</kernel>
    <cmdline>console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda</cmdline>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>

  <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
  <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
  <on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64</emulator>
      <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
      <source file=' ~/rootfs.qcow2'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='virtio'/>
      </disk>
    <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'>
      <address type='virtio-mmio'/>
    </controller>
    <interface type='network'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:09:a4:37'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <source network='pepito'/>
      <address type='virtio-mmio'/>
    </interface>
 </devices>
<qemu:commandline>
  <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
        <qemu:arg value='virtio-net-pci'/>
        <qemu:arg value='-netdev'/>
        <qemu:arg value='user,id=net1'/>
  </qemu:commandline>
</domain>

They both work as I created them in a different computer and everything
works. But I'm trying it on my other Ubuntu machine, and once virsh creates
the network and the domain, my VM never get an IP from that DHCP range.
This is libvirtd log:

abr 17 00:48:11 usuario-System-Product-Name dnsmasq-dhcp[13741]: DHCP, IP
range 192.168.150.2 -- 192.168.150.254, lease time 1h

abr 17 00:48:11 usuario-System-Product-Name dnsmasq-dhcp[13741]: read
/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/pepito.hostsfile


Does anybody know why it could be that the VM never gets an IP from the
range I defined? As I said, exactly the same configuration worked in a
different machine, I don't know why it does not work here.

Thank you so much!!
