Hi. I installed a virtual machine under a regular user(in other words, not under root user) with virt-install and configured this VM to boot automatically: $ virsh dominfo vm Id: 1 Name: vm UUID: eef95dd6-5efe-4059-8dcc-3e35db12f55d OS Type: hvm State: running CPU(s): 4 CPU time: 253.7s Max memory: 4194304 KiB Used memory: 4194304 KiB Persistent: yes Autostart: enable Managed save: no Security model: none Security DOI: 0 $ ls -l /home/user/.config/libvirt/qemu/autostart/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 47 Apr 30 16:59 vm.xml -> /home/user/.config/libvirt/qemu/vm.xml $ The vm indeed starts automatically, but only when the regular user has logged in. I would like libvirtd(started by the systemd) to execute this VM already during the system bootup when the regular user has not yet logged in. How to accomplish this? I also made a symlink under /etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/, but this did not help. thanks, Martin
