virt manager network default is not active
First, confirm that the default network is indeed inactive:
sudo virsh net-list --all
If yes, just start the default network:
sudo virsh net-start default
Run the first command again to see if it worked.
If the default network is not autostarted, just enable this:
sudo virsh net-autostart default
