I start my Windows 10 guest using a batch script and the qemu-system-x86_64 command. Whenever I try to run that script using the qemu
option, the guest won't start.
I checked various permissions, added my user to the kvm group, tried both kvm and user in the -runas option, but nothing works. I also made sure the /dev/hugepages have the right permissions.
Can someone help me out and point me to the various places where I need to set or modify permissions?
I don't use virsh, libvirt or virt-manager and prefer not to use them.
Thanks!
Here is the complete qemu command:
Note: No problem running the Windows guest with root permissions.
Code:
