virt-{X} command cannot parse url when rbd keyring include slash('/')
by brownie4597＠gmail.com
Hi,
Could you check url parser for rbd protocol?
When i execute this,
$ /bin/virt-inspector --format=raw -a 'rbd://admin:AQBDtCln1ccACxAAY8e09wa7rSnrIp7pV/4bAA==@1.1.1.1:3300/poolname/imagename'
it returns
--add: could not parse URI rbd://admin:AQBDtCln1ccACxAAY8e09wa7rSnrIp7pV/4bAA==@1.1.1.1:3300/poolname/imagename
it seems to be failed when rbd keyring contains slash('/')
(original keyring is 'AQBDtCln1ccACxAAY8e09wa7rSnrIp7pV/4bAA==')
Thanks.

Minor fix for xpath example
by Emmanuel Kasper
Hi
The xpath example at https://libguestfs.org/virt-resize.1.html
|virsh dumpxml guestname | xpath /domain/devices/disk/source|
does not work anymore with recent xpath versions ?
virsh dumpxml domain | xpath /domain/devices/disk/source
Usage:
/usr/bin/xpath [options] -e query [-e query...] [filename...]
If no filenames are given, supply XML on STDIN. You must provide at
least one query. Each supplementary query is done in order, the
previous query giving the context of the next one.
On Debian 12 and Fedora41 I need to add the -e switch to get the command
working:
virsh dumpxml domain | xpath -e /domain/devices/disk/source
Found 1 nodes in stdin:
-- NODE --
<source file="/var/lib/libvirt/images/debian11.qcow2" />
On both systems I have xpath 1.48 coming from libxml-xpath-perl.

trouble mounting .vhd files in Linux Mint 22 with guestfish
by muh muh
Greetings, I am so far unsuccessful mounting .vhd files using guestfish.
I am running:

guestfish is version 1.52.0
The complete, unedited output from this command:
$ guestfish run list-filesystems mount-ro -v -x -a 0008989.vhd

is listed below. After that is my full system info.
