[libvirt-users] can't find how to solve "QEMU guest agent is not connected"

[Matt]

Thanks for your answer.

It turns out that I admitted a bit too fast that the agent was running
and your question made me refocus on it. I reread the PR, especially
the systemd part I tend to skip as I get tired of learning yet another
protocol/configuration. Turned out it had some conditions that when
removed made the whole thing worked !
+ systemd.services.qemu-guest-agent = {
+ description = "QEMU Guest Agent";
+ bindsTo = [ "dev-virtio\\x2dports-org.qemu.guest_agent.0.device" ];
+ after = [ "dev-virtio\\x2dports-org.qemu.guest_agent.0.device" ];

So thanks for the hint :D

I use linux/nixos. The command is generated but thanks for the advice,
I might fix this later.

Cheers !
