Chris,

virt-manager has a way to create networks, I have one called "vm_network" which uses NAT, I think that might be a default thin= g, and
it seems to work.

When you create a virtual machine, you should be able to select to use a network. If I look at an existing machine I have, I see a "NIC ...&quo= t;
device, which uses the "vm_network".

If you've got all this, it could be that the networking isn't getti= ng
started in the virtual machine...

I discovered that v= irt-manager has a=C2=A0 "connection settings" section and a "= ;virtual machine details" section

I fumbled with the 2 and somehow I stumbled into a working configuratio= n, also along the lines of your suggestions

So now I have a working Ubuntu Xenial installation inside a virtua= l machine

I'm not sure I'd = be able to reproduce this configuration, should I want to but I guess I hav= e to live with that

It's a prog= ress anyway

Thank you
