Early errors during start of libvirtd didn't have an error reporting mechanism and caused libvirtd to exit silently (only the return value indicated an error). Libvirt logging is initialized very early using enviroment variables and the internal error reporting API is used to report early errors. v2 changes: - print errors unconditionaly before logging starts - fix message to US spelling v2.5 changes: - initialize logging from enviroment - log all early errors using VIR_ERROR v3 changes: - move virSetLogFromEnv() after virInitialize() fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728654 --- On 08/12/2011 12:09 PM, Daniel P.

Ok, not quiet that early. virInitialize() must be the first libvirt call made since it initializes threading which is needed by logging.

Uh, sorry. I didn't check for that. Now it should be in the correct place.
