libguestfs: [62900ms] launch libvirt guest
The error is happening in libvirt's virDomainCreateXML call, called
from libguestfs here:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/src/launch-libvirt.c...
Unfortunately libvirt isn't a simple C library. It will launch and
talk to a daemon (usually ``libvirt --timeout=30'' process, if you are
not running as root). Debugging into libvirtd is described here:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libvirt
A workaround is to set LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct [or use the
equivalent call ``guestfs_set_backend (g, "direct")''] which will
cause libguestfs to run qemu directly instead of going through
libvirt.
