Hi,
The latest update to virt-manager, release 0.8.7-2.fc14, introduced some problem I didn't have before. For some reason my message logs are fiulled up with messages like this:
libvirtd: 13:13:38.083: error : interfaceGetXMLDesc:355 : internal error could not get interface XML description (netcf: NETLINK socket operation failed - couldn't find ifindex for interface `br0:1`)
As soon as virt-manager runs, this message fills up the message log pretty fast, one message per second.
Yes, I have an interface br0:1, but it's not used by any of the virtual machines and it's not mentioned in any configuration so I have no idea why virt-manager is suddenly keen to get hold of the interface. None of the older virt-manager versions I used so far has shown any interest in this interface, nor did any of them log such a message.
I even tried to add this interface to the libvirt configuration, but the GUI doesn't accept an interface with a colon in its name.
So, what I did for now is to downgrade virt-mananger to version 0.8.5-1.fc14, but I would be more confident if I
1) knew why this message is geenrated now and 2) how to avoid it.
Thanks for any help in advance, Corinna

What makes you think it's virt-manager and not libvirtd?
I'm also experiencing this problem. Downgrading libvirtd appears to be a real process, and downgrading virt-manager didn't fix the problem for me. I can't understand how more people aren't having a problem.
Thanks, Alex

I'm not saying the problem is actuially in virt-manager. The problem could certainly be in libvirtd and only be triggered by the latest virt-manager. For me at least, the problem only shows up if virt-manager is running and...

...it disappears for me as soon as I downgrade to the previous virt-manager release.
