A recommendation in comments 7 and 8 of bug 925511 seems like the best way to solve this for both lxc and libvirt. However, I don't think we'll have time to do this in time for precise. The libvirt patch will have to be sent and vetted upstream, both lxc and libvirt will need to switch from depending on dnsmasq-base to dnsmasq, and this will require extensive testing.
The current situation can be fragile, but at least it is understood. I'd like to address this as soon as p+1 opens up. ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928524 Title: lxcbr0 fails to come up when dnsmasq is installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/928524/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
