Description Giuseppe Gorgoglione 2017-10-13 09:06:55 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1) plug in a USB key while a QEMU/KVM virtual machine window is in foreground, or hit "Virtual Machine -> Redirect USB device" menu option and select any device listed there.
2) The system will prompt for root password
3) After typing the password correctly, the following error message is printed in a dialog box: "USB redirection error. spice-client-error-quark: Could not redirect Generic USB Storage [...] Error setting USB device node ACL: 'Error setting facl: Operation not permitted' (0)". The USB device of course is never redirected.

Solution:

chmod u+s /usr/bin/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper

After setting the sticky bit all USB devices are redirected correctly
