[libvirt-users] serial console (another problem)
Hi,
I also have some problems related to serial consoles. When I try to create
a virtual machine (virsh create test.xml) with a serial port connected to
a unix socket in the host by using:
<serial type="unix">
<source mode="bind"
path="/tmp/.vnx/simple_ubuntu/ubuntu_socket"/>
<target port="1"/>
</serial>
(see the complete XML below)
I get this error:
error: Failed to create domain from test.xml
error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output:
char device redirected to /dev/pts/3
bind(unix:/tmp/.vnx/simple_ubuntu/ubuntu_socket): Permission denied
chardev: opening backend "socket" failed: Permission denied
(I've executed libvirt in debug mode, but I've not seen any relevant
traces related to the problem)
This problem arises only when I try over an Ubuntu system with libvirt
installed as a package. When I try it over the same system with libvirt
manually installed, it works.
Latest tests have been made over a Ubuntu 12.04 system with apparmor
disabled using libvirt 0.9.8 as package or manually compiled with standard
configure options. But, I also made tests with other Ubuntu and libvirt
versions and the result is similar.
Any idea about how to solve the problem or a workaround will be highly
appretiated.
