Hi,
I am using "virsh edit" to edit a domain. After edit it says
>> Domain ubuntu18.04 XML configuration edited.
However, reopening the domain with "virsh edit" shows old file.
The domain is also turned off.
$virsh list --all --persistent
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
- ubuntu18.04 shut off
I have also tried running "virsh define" to set new configuration.
$virsh define ubuntu18.04.xml
>>> Domain ubuntu18.04 defined from ubuntu18.04.xml
However, it also did not change the file. How can I edit the domain config file?
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1
virsh: 4.0.0
What exactly did you change? Can you show both the output of 'virsh
dumpxml ubuntu18.04 --inactive' and the contents of ubuntu18.04.xml?
