USB redirection is not working in spice
Last modified: 2017-12-11 08:13:09 UTC
It's not possible to redirect USB devices through the virt-manager/spice client (local connection) When I select "Redirect USB Device" in the "Virtual Machine" menu, polkit ask me for root password. After entering the password I obtain the following errror: " Could not redirect [USB DEVICE NAME]: Error setting USB device node ACL: 'Error setting facl: Operation not permitted' (0)" In this thread (post #9) I found a workaround: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/501434-Can-t-redirect-USB-to-QEMU-KVM-guest The workaround consist of adding setuid permission to /usr/bin/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper Is this the right and only way to obtain USB redirection? If yes i think setuid should be set by default.
