Package: qemu-guest-agent Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-1 Severity: serious Hello,
qemu-guest-agent now ships a systemd .service which is good, but it's not being started on boot. In Fedora/RHEL they are shipping the following file: https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/qemu.git/tree/99-qemu-guest-agent.rules That allows the daemon to be started if the device is present (or appears when the machine has already booted). Note that their .service file is a bit different: https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/qemu.git/tree/qemu-guest-agent.service I think that the udev rule should be enough though. Also note that the path in the ExecStart is not correct either as the qemu-ga daemon is installed in /usr/sbin/ and not /usr/bin Kind regards, Laurent Bigonville -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: SELinux: enabled - Mode: Permissive - Policy name: refpolicy Versions of packages qemu-guest-agent depends on: ii libc6 2.28-3 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-12 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 ii libudev1 239-15 ii lsb-base 10.2018112800 qemu-guest-agent recommends no packages. qemu-guest-agent suggests no packages.
