Hi,

Thx for your hint.

I've tried this instead :

</channel>

Then, when starting the Guest I get a pop up window showing this error message :

Error starting domain : internal error : process exited while connecting to monitor

Quemu-kvm –chardev socket id=channel1,path=/opt/omnivision_1_agent,server,nowait

Failed to bind socket : Permission denied

Did I miss something ?

Regards,

J.P.

This won't fly. A channel with that name is special. It's guest agent socket that libvirt automatically connects to once domain is starting up. You need to provide a different name and everything should just work.
