Getting rid of virbr0/virbr1 interface in Ubuntu Server 9.10

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04,  you might have a network interface virbr0 if you’ve selected to install a virtual machine emulator.  During the CD install, selecting vm, it will install kvm and xen.  It will create a network interface virbr0 or virbr1 to perform host networking.

Later, if you decide to install VMWare, VirtualBox or decide you really didn’t want a virtual machine server, you can remove the applications easily.  Just do a (sudo):

apt-get purge kvm

apt-get purge libxen3
