Re: [Libguestfs] [libguestfs PATCH v2 0/7] lib: support networking with passt

So I get this error with upstream libguestfs: Original error from libvirt: internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/passt --one-off --socket /run/user/1000/libvirt/qemu/run/passt/160-guestfs-s42xm02n9vqv-net0.socket --mac-addr 52:54:00:3d:ce:ce --pid /run/user/1000/libvirt/qemu/run/passt/160-guestfs-s42xm02n9vqv-net0-passt.pid --address 169.254.2.15 --netmask 16) unexpected exit status 1: Couldn't create user namespace: Permission denied The error is reproducible simply by enabling the network, eg: $ ./run virt-rescue --network --scratch Formatting '/home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/libguestfsceCpVM/overlay2.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 extended_l2=off compression_type=zlib size=4294967296 backing_file=/home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/.guestfs-1000/appliance.d/root backing_fmt=raw lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16 libguestfs: error: could not create appliance through libvirt.
