Hi,
I’m running OpenSUSE Leap 15.3. I just setup a local KVM hypervisor using libvirtd. Here’s my own documentation for installing and configuring it:
https://docs.microlinux.fr/lp152/installation-kvm/
I have a single NIC on this machine, and I configured a bridge using nmtui so guest VMs can communicate with the local network.
# **nmcli con show**

BRIDGE 0ba8cabd-252e-4fc3-a3b6-21e8c4edd8bb bridge br0
LAN 99ef3df3-c90e-439c-b545-c1a90e77a9bd ethernet eth0

eth0 UP
br0 UP 192.168.2.3/24 fe80::68c8:29ff:fee9:6961/64
There seems to be a problem with libvirtd:

I’m worried about the “Failed to initialize libnetcontrol” line.
Any suggestions ?
