[Bug 1472369] Re: lxcbr0 missing after starting lxc-net.service

Hi,

I've run into the same problem and haven't found any useful answers so far. However, doing exactly the opposite explained here:
https://community.flockport.com/topic/25/lxc-net-fails-to-create-bridge-on-ubuntu-server-14-04-1

It works for me.

So, temporary solution:

$ vim /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxc

Comment all lines:

# Tell any system-wide dnsmasq instance to make sure to bind to interfaces
# instead of listening on 0.0.0.0
# WARNING: changes to this file will get lost if lxc is removed.
#bind-interfaces
#except-interface=lxcbr0

So the file ends up doing nothing. After restarting the system, I get my
lxcbr0 back and I can access to my lxc machines again.

  3.  sudo systemctl restart lxc-net.service should bring up lxcbr0
  bridge device

  4. lxcbr0 device is not present after starting/restarting lxc-
  net.service

  My wily system does not have a dnsmasq.conf  and without one which includes the conf-dir = /etc/dnsmasq.d
  directive, then lxc-net does not come up.
