A little summary for my bad memory: - We were suggesting adding sudo users to kvm group in https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/qemu/merge_requests/2 - Systemd upstream has decided /dev/kvm is 0666 and open for all https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/b8fd3d82205f632ce001fade74fed287e1564a1a - Debian has chosen to stick with 0660 + group root:kvm (we want that as well) - systemd >=239-6 have taken over doing all of that: https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commit/4fc3fa53bfa6e16ceb6cd312f49003839b56144a This is in >=Cosmic - qemu in debian dropped the group creation and the chown code (as it is done by udev/systemd now) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892945 https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/qemu/commit/cb8737ef48a37eddf12ac199b46f9034273ba6d3 Not yet released, will be in >= Disco - tagging with uaccess should work much better for qemu://session - see https://enotty.pipebreaker.pl/2012/05/23/linux-automatic-user-acl-management/ for general uaccess info in general - The reason to consider the this older <Xenial "add all sudo to kvm" handling was this bug here but that should be covered by uaccess in Disco and later - I was abandoning my PR with Debian based on that retriage of the case
If that is still/again an issue on >=19.04 (after we have qemu 3.1 there) please report $ getfact /dev/kvm ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #892945 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892945 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767302 Title: User is not added to kvm group when installing gnome-boxes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-boxes/+bug/1767302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
