Re: [libvirt-users] Using custom QEMU binaries with libvirt

Hi all, I compiled a custom version of QEMU 2.0.0 and I am having hard times to make it available to libvirt. Just to clarify, if I execute /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 it does performs good. But when I put this very same path to <emulator> tag in a domain configutation, when i start the domain I get error: Failed to start domain vm1 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: libvirt: error : cannot execute binary /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64: Permission denied I tried setting +x permission to all the binaries in /usr/local/bin, disabling apparmor profile for libvirtd, creating and putting to complain a profile for /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64, creating a softlink to /usr/bin/kvm-spice to the custom binary and leaving <emulator> as default... At the end of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openstack/dev/40033 I found something about AppArmor, and enabling bios.bin reading somewhere, but I got a little confused here. The most disapointing thing here, is that using qemu 1.7 I could use my custom build, but apparently something changed with 2.0 (or with libvirt integration).

From libvirt's POV the only things that should matter are
