`docker-machine create -d kvm` fails with: Failed to Start network: [Code-1] [Domain-59] internal error: Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend

Given the success on Ubuntu I'm wondering if I just have something environmental that may be causing this problem.

Command + output:

$ docker-machine create -d kvm myengine0
Creating CA: /home/me/.docker/machine/certs/ca.pem
Creating client certificate: /home/me/.docker/machine/certs/cert.pem
Running pre-create checks... (myengine0) Failed to Start network: [Code-1] [Domain-59] internal error: Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend
Error with pre-create check: "[Code-1] [Domain-59] internal error: Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend"

Environment:

• Arch Linux, 4.6.4-1 x86_64 kernel
• libvirt 2.0.0-1
• docker-machine 0.7.0
• ~/bin/docker-machine-driver-kvm 0.7.0 and is in my PATH
• User is in the libvirt group, libvirtd is running

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Have a look here and check whether you have installed and configured your system correctly: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=198744

@appelgriebsch thanks for the link, installing/starting firewalld did the trick.
