When launching a VM, if an exception happens and the VM is not initiated, it is useful to see the qemu command line that was executed and the output of that command.
Before this patch: >>> import qemu >>> vm = qemu.QEMUMachine('qemu-system-aarch64', debug=True) >>> vm.launch() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "qemu.py", line 175, in launch self._launch() File "qemu.py", line 189, in _launch self._post_launch() File "qemu.py", line 154, in _post_launch self._qmp.accept() File "qmp/qmp.py", line 145, in accept self.__sock, _ = self.__sock.accept() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 206, in accept sock, addr = self._sock.accept() socket.timeout: timed out >>> After this patch: >>> import qemu >>> vm = qemu.QEMUMachine('qemu-system-aarch64', debug=True) >>> vm.launch() DEBUG:qemu:Error launching VM.
