The qemu driver creates IPC sockets using absolute paths, but under POSIX socket paths are constrained pretty tightly. On systems with homedirs on an unusual mount point, like network homedirs, or just particularly long usernames, this could make starting VMs under qemu:///session impossible.

But there's only 7 other places where sockaddr_un is used; I can make this bind code into a util function, and make a connect() version too I guess -- and it won't be so bad! I was hoping most libvirt clients would use libvirt itself to connect back to it. But that's not true? virt-manager has its own independent socket code? I haven't run into socket problems with virsh yet; but virsh calls libvirt, doesn't it? Thank you Michal! I was trying to patch the same part of src/qemu/qemu_conf.c as you but was flailing around with it. I was getting chaotic results. In retrospect, I think it was simply because I wasn't killing the local libvirtd -- it times out in some cases, and presumably will reload then, but not immediately and not if you have any running VMs. So I was probably just confusing myself. With your patch built and installed, and double-checking it's actually loading by making sure `lsof | grep driver_qemu` is empty before trying it, it successfully uses /var/run, avoiding the original crash I had, even with a very long VM name: u123456@vmserver:~$ export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///session u123456@vmserver:~$ (cd /tmp/ && curl -O https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/releases/x86_64/alpine-extend...) % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 588M 100 588M 0 0 40.8M 0 0:00:14 0:00:14 --:--:-- 41.7M u123456@vmserver:~$ virt-install --name ffdsfifiosdofidsiofiosdiofsdiofiosdfiosdiofiosdioff --cdrom /tmp/alpine-extended-3.14.0-x86_64.iso --disk size=20,format=qcow2 --memory 4096 --noautoconsole --graphics vnc,listen=socket Début d’installation… Allocating 'ffdsfifiosdofidsiofiosdiofsdiofiosdfiosdiofiosdioff-1.qcow2' | 0 B 00:00:00 ...

No one besides me is using this yet (because they can't because of this bug). I'm not sure how I would even do that. I think the simplest way to set up a test env, though, is just to do `useradd -m -d /home/itsaverysuperlonghomedirectorynamethatweallsaluteandpraiseegads virsh-test1`. And then we should all be able to test against master. In fact we should be able to each set up test envs inside of libvirt VMs :). Except again I am coming at this sideways and I haven't yet figured out how to install libvirt from master. Thanks for all being really friendly by the way. This library is down in the infrastructural guts of my systems, and clearly I don't really know what I'm doing with it. I appreciate the help and the welcome as I try to muddle through getting it working for my users! I'm looking forward to having this patched so that, say, in six months (but more likely, 12) when I upgrade our Ubuntus finally this problem quietly vanishes. -Nick
