#260957 — VM using Debian cloud image does not connect to virtual network.

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

    This is my first message to the community so if I am doing something
wrong please assume I am ignorant and not disobedient with respect to the
community rules.

    I am also a novice with respect to this wonderful operating system.
That being said, what am I trying to do? I am trying to create an Ansible
playbook that sets up a QEMU/KVM libvirt VM running Debian 12 (without the
Desktop stuff) so that I may experiment with open source tools. The
computer I am trying to do all this stuff from is also running Debian 12( I
like new stuff ) but with the Desktop stuff on.

    I did this successfully initially using a Fedora 38 qcow2 image. With
some of the recent news about Red Hat I decided that it is maybe best if
the continuous existence and support of my chosen flavor of Linux/GNU is
not dependent on a corporation.

    Finally, what is my problem? I have many problems but what you kind
folk might be able to help me with is the lack of network connectivity of
this VM machine created using a Debian cloud image. I have not done any of
the cloud-init stuff. I am trying to keep the number of mechanisms I need
to learn and set-up low.

    I have tried using the below images:

   - debian-12-genericcloud-amd64-20230802-1460
   - debian-12-generic-amd64-20230802-1460

    I have also tried adding interface settings to /etc/network/interfaces
to try and make the interface connect and get an ipv4. I tried bringing the
interface up (it is down by default) with ip link set dev <interface> up.
No ipv4 is obtained. After a bit of digging I found that the cloud images
also don't have networking.service (not sure exactly what that implies).

    At this point my 4 neurons are screaming in agony hence I have come
seeking assistance. Hope someone has some suggestions about how I may solve
this mystery.

Kind regards,
Cristian Căpșună

I haven't tried specifically with the "cloud" images, but I've done
something very similar to what it seems like you're doing (minus the
Ansible portion, at least so far) with the standard installation
DVD/USB images. Getting guest network connectivity with KVM is
slightly convoluted, but this blog post of mine might perhaps help you
get unstuck:

I was running Debian 11 when I wrote it but am fairly certain I didn't
need to make any adjustments when upgrading to Debian 12.

I hope that this will help you get unstuck.

Hi Michael,

    Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my e-mail.

    I will give the posts a read and try to adapt them to my issue. Will
get back with feedback thereafter.

    Also I really like your website design. I've got it as a personal goal
to create one for myself at some point.

Kind regards,
Cristian Căpșună

Hello,

    I have found the solution to this and want to drop it here in case
someone finds this and has the same problem. The solution is described in
this
<https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_the_modern_network_configuration_without_gui>
section of the Debian documentation.

Kind regards,
Cristian Căpșună
