Hi,

 

Thx for your hint.

 

I've tried this instead :

 

<channel type='unix'>

      <source mode='bind' path='/opt/omnivision_1.agent'/>

      <target type='virtio' name='omnivision_1.agent'/>

      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/>

    </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.
