Yes, you were right, the port 7777 was already being used when I was doing: -chardev socket,host=localhost,port=7777,server,nowait,id=port1-char \ However, even after using a unix socket for this socket as: -chardev socket,path=/tmp/g2g,server,nowait,id=port1-char the VM has booted giving a warning at the host console: Warning: vlan 0 with no nics but when I do ifconfig on the guest I see only lo and I still get ssh: connect to host 10.0.2.15 port 22: Connection timed out when I try to ssh; the IP I used to ssh is 10.0.2.15, which according to man qemu-system-x86_64 is the IP assigned to the first VM booted if static IP is not assigned. And now there is no internet connection on the guest.
