[libvirt-users] Failed to probe capabilities on libvirt v5.1.0
Hi everyone, Unfortunately, I'm facing an issue with libvirt 5.1.0 when probing capabilities. Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64: internal error: Failed to start QEMU binary /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 for probing: qemu-system-x86_64: cannot create PID file: Cannot open pid file: Permission denied I see that the qmp directory is being created, however, it belongs to root instead of qemu: /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/qmp-U1w6o6: 0 drwx------. 2 root root 6 Apr 11 14:46 qmp-U1w6o6 The user and group are set to "qemu" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf I would appreciate any pointers. Thank you! Vladik

I see that the qmp directory is being created, however, it belongs to root instead of qemu:
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/qmp-U1w6o6: 0 drwx------. 2 root root 6 Apr 11 14:46 qmp-U1w6o6

Yep, this is a libvirt bug. There's a fix here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-April/msg00876.html BTW: are you running libvirt inside a container perhaps? Or without capng? Michal
