I use Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager).

  • Host: Ubuntu 18.04.
  • Guest: Windows.

After first shutdown I can't start it. I get this error message:

Error starting domain: Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, args, kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 125, in tmpcb
    callback(args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 82, in newfn

First, confirm that the default network is indeed inactive:

sudo virsh net-list --all

If so, start the default network:

sudo virsh net-start default

Run the first command line again to see if it worked.

Also run below command to force autostart in every host system boot.

$ sudo virsh net-autostart default
