It should be noted by @jetm's contribution that the post install message seems to include a mistake. ovsdb-server is enabled twice and ovs-vswitchd is started twice. Both ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd should be enabled and started afterwards. This mistake got my attention after @francozappa's issue Mininet/626 on GitHub (https://github.com/mininet/mininet/issues/626) To sum it up, the correct sequence is: $ systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service $ systemctl start ovsdb-server.service $ systemctl enable ovs-vswitchd.service $ systemctl start ovs-vswitchd.service

I've updated the package. Please test it.

@glindste: Thanks! With your suggestions mininet runs as it's expected. @pedromj: To avoid these errors, I would put openvswitch as a required dependency (non optional). Also, I would show a message after installation saying ovsdb-server.service and ovs-vswitchd.service are needed to be executed before call 'sudo mn' or I would enable them. For a post installation message you can take an example on virtio-win AUR package. Look in virtio-win.install file. For start the required services, I think with just execute these will be OK: $ systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service $ systemctl start ovs-vswitchd.service $ systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service $ systemctl start ovs-vswitchd.service If you need help with AUR package, let me know. I can send you a Git patch. Regards.

Ok, solved it now. After installing openvswitch, start BOTH ovsdb-server.service and ovs-vswitchd.service. Then 'sudo mn' should run fine.

@jetm: I had the same problem, but if I install openvswitch (optional dependency) it doesn't crash. However if I run 'sudo mn' it gets stuck at starting the switch, don't know why. *** Creating network *** Adding controller *** Adding hosts: h1 h2 *** Adding switches: s1 *** Adding links: (h1, s1) (h2, s1) *** Configuring hosts h1 h2 *** Starting controller c0 *** Starting 1 switches s1 ...

Done, please test. Thank you.

Hi @pedromj, Could you change PKGBUILD to get mininet binary releases instead of using Git? The mininet binary releases are in https://github.com/mininet/mininet/releases and you can get them with https://github.com/mininet/mininet/archive/VERSION.tar.gz, e.g.: https://github.com/mininet/mininet/archive/2.2.1.tar.gz I cannot install this package because my current corporate Internet is through a proxy/firewall with git:// protocol blocked. Other people with similar Internet setup could have same issue. Thanks!

Updated, please test.

Updated, please test.
