[Qemu-devel] [Bug 676029] Re: Silently fail with wrong vde socket dir
There's no need to add any more specific information. The bug's in the code in qemu. net/vde.c: static int net_vde_init(VLANState *vlan, const char *model, const char *name, const char *sock, int port, const char *group, int mode) { ... vde = vde_open(init_sock, (char *)QEMU, args); if (!vde){ return -1; } ... } There's no message generated there. Callers merely pass the failure up the road, where it's finally handled as exit(1). If _anything_ is wrong in vde_open() (which can fail due to variety of reasons, including wrong path to the listening socket and what not), nothing will indicate that, just a trivial, silent exit. ** Changed in: qemu Status: New = Confirmed -- Silently fail with wrong vde socket dir https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

Given that you know what the problem is, it would probably have been faster to post a patch than just updating the bug and marking it confirmed -- Silently fail with wrong vde socket dir https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.
