[arch-general] libvirt and VLAN

[Peter Nabbefeld]

Hello,

when trying to create a VLAN interface, I'm getting the following error 
(english translation below):


Fehler beim Anlegen der Netzwerkschnittstelle: 'Schnittstelle konnte 
nicht definiert werden: internal error: Konnte Interface XML 
Beschreibung nicht finden: unspecified error - aug_save failed on 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlp6s0.0: mk_augtemp (No such file 
or directory)'

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 88, in 
cb_wrapper
     callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createinterface.py", line 
1150, in do_install
     self.interface.install(meter, create=activate)
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/interface.py", line 258, in 
install
     raise RuntimeError(_("Could not define interface: %s") % str(e))
RuntimeError: Schnittstelle konnte nicht definiert werden: internal 
error: Konnte Interface XML Beschreibung nicht finden: unspecified error 
- aug_save failed on /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlp6s0.0:

The problem here seems to arise from usage of systemd or networking in 
Arch, as /etc/sysconfig does not exist and XML cannot be created there.

Kind regards
