Re: [libvirt-users] libvirtd not accepting connections

Are you sure you didn't miss the --all? The VMs are not visible because the XML cannot be parsed if the binaries are not on the system (the XML contains the whole path). Also, I think this works because libvirt doesn't look into /usr/local/bin, but I might be wrong. Check whether 'virsh capabilities' tells you something about any emulator. You can try installing from source, but putting it in /usr/bin, you can also remove that installation, put back the one from the package and try running: { for i in qmp_capabilities query-commands quit; do echo "{'execute':'$i'}"; done } | qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -nodefaults -no-user-config -M none -qmp stdio And see whether the QEMU process quits, what it outputs and if it gets stuck, you can attach gdb and see what it's waiting for. Or maybe try running it with strace. You can also do a thing I used to do a lot. You can rename /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 (for example) and create a script with that filename that for example execs as qemu in strace with the output of strace put in some file, or similar. I can't think of anything else for now, sorry. Have a nice day, Martin P.S.: If qemu gets stuc even with that easy command, then it's definitely its fault.
