Public bug reported: I used a bash script to set some kvm specific parameters at the start of the vm.
The script looks like: #!/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/kvm -vga std $@ Permissions on the file are -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43 2009-12-04 10:16 /usr/local/bin/kvm-std-vga.sh One virtual machine was setup to use this: <emulator>/usr/local/bin/kvm-std-vga.sh</emulator> This worked fine prior to 9.10 but after 9.10 I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 558, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 293, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: libvir: error : cannot execute binary /usr/local/bin/kvm-std-vga.sh: Permission denied Seems libvirtd is making more assumptions about the emulator then it used to. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: emulator kvm libvirtd std vga -- libvirtd fails to run user defined emulator permission denied https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
