Commit 32a9aac switched libvirt to use the XDG base directories to locate most of its data/config. In particular, the per-user socket for qemu:///session is now stored in the XDG runtime directory. This directory is located by looking at the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable, with a fallback to ~/.cache/libvirt if this variable is not set. When the daemon is autospawned because a client application wants to use qemu:///session, the daemon is ran in a clean environment which does not contain XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. It will create its socket in ~/.cache/libvirt. If the client application has XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set, it will not look for the socket in the fallback place, and will fail to connect to the autospawned daemon. This patch adds XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to the daemon environment before auto-starting it. I've done this in virNetSocketForkDaemon rather than in virCommandAddEnvPassCommon as I wasn't sure we want to pass these variables to other commands libvirt spawns. XDG_CACHE_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME are also added to the daemon env as it makes use of those as well. (cherry picked from commit efe6c8021146d046846ead5b5efc9828d97c1ceb)
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
