My current release of Clear is
Current OS version: 42410
Latest server version: 42410
There are no updates available
I installed the bundles supporting the Virt/QEMU system with the VMM GUI manager.
Perhaps I am spoiled but after the bundles were loaded, systemctl did not restart the libvirt. process. (so I did)
Next, I tried to created a new VM, but in the network choice, the field was blank with no drop down choices.
By default, the usual choices are
-NAT
-Bridge
-macvtap
So I ran a service check on libvirtd and got the following:
libvirtd.service - libvirt legacy monolithic daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

So it seems there is no network interface in the virtual network manager defined as “bridge” and tosses out an error. Just like in the VMM install, where certain items are turned on by default in other Linux OS’es, Clear seems to skip that part.
By design, or just missed in testing? Thought I would ask.
