[Bug 1393842] Re: libvirt does not grant qemu-guest-agent channel perms

 

This bug still affects 14.04. Upgrading libvirt to 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.19
does not fix it.

$ dpkg -l | grep libvirt

Title:
  libvirt does not grant qemu-guest-agent channel perms

Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libvirt source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  =======================================
  1. Impact: cannot create a default RHEL7 vm in virt-manager
  2. fix: allow use of qemu-guest-agent channel
  3. test case: see in description below.  Create a VM in virt-manager specifying
     Linux os and RHEL7.
  4. Regression potential: there should be none.  We are only adding an
     apparmor permission for unix sockets which libvirt creates when needed
     for kvm vms.
  =======================================

  Create a new VM, choose Linux for OS type and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  7 (or later) for Version. Proceed through the wizard leaving all other
  options unchanged. On clicking Finish, the following error is
  displayed:
