Thanks Dan and Paride for your followup. I'd like this issue to be invalid, but it seems qemu agent is not run by udev:
qm agent 100 ping && echo ok QEMU guest agent is not running vm$ sudo systemctl start qemu-guest-agent qm agent 100 ping && echo ok ok it seems that: === cat /lib/udev/rules.d/60-qemu-guest-agent.rules 1 ↵ SUBSYSTEM=="virtio-ports", ATTR{name}=="org.qemu.guest_agent.0", \ TAG+="systemd" ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="qemu-guest-agent.service" === is not enough to kick qemu-ga: vm$ ps ax | grep qemu-ga 373283 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/qemu-ga So, if it is not a systemctl / qemu packaging issue, what am I missing ? thank you, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1883009 Title: qemu-guest-agent / systemctl enable failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1883009/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
