Public bug reported: When running qemu with daemonize option it is impossible to run "commit all" in monitor.
I run qemu 2.7.0 under gentoo 64 bit distribution with following command line: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -cpu host -smp 2 -enable-kvm -snapshot \ -drive file=vm.img,if=virtio \ -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=11:11:11:11:11:11 \ -net tap,ifname=tap$PORT,script=no,downscript=no \ -vnc :1 -daemonize \ -chardev vc,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \ -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=10001,server,nowait -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control I connect to vm through VNC viewer and press CTRL+ALT+2 and run "commit all" command. Following error is shown: `commit` error for `all`: Permission denied When I run my VM without `daemonize` option the command "commit all" works without errors. ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: commit daemonize -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1649236 Title: Commit snapshot fails with Permission denied when daemonized Status in QEMU: New Bug description: When running qemu with daemonize option it is impossible to run "commit all" in monitor.
