On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
Without this patch, logged command executions can be ambiguous if
the command contained any shell metacharacters. This has caused
more than one person to attempt to patch clients to add unnecessary
quoting, without realizing that the command itself was run with
correct args, and only the logged output was ambiguous.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandToString): Add shell escapes.
* tests/commandtest.c (test16): Test new behavior.
* tests/commanddata/test16.log: Update expected output.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-*.args: Likewise.
* tests/networkxml2argvdata/*.argv: Likewise.
This patch teaches testutil how to read multi-line input files with
backspace-newline line continuation markers.
The patch also breaks up all the single-line arguments test input files into
multi-line files with lines shorter than 80 characters.
The log lists things like -smbios type=1,vendor="Red Hat", which
is great for shell parsing, but not so great when you realize that
execve() then passes those literal "" on as part of the command
line argument, such that qemu sets SMBIOS with extra literal quotes.
The eventual addition of virCommand is needed before we have the API
to shell-quote a string representation of a command line, so that the
log can still be pasted into a shell, but without inserting extra
bytes into the execve() arguments.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosBiosStr)
(qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Qemu doesn't like quotes around uuid
arguments, and the remaining quotes are passed literally to
smbios, making <smbios mode='host'/> inaccurate. Removing the
quotes makes the log harder to parse, but that can be fixed later
with virCommand improvements.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smbios.args: 'Fix' test; it
will need fixing again once virCommand learns how to shell-quote a
potential command line.
