Bug Description
I installed virt-manager in Xubuntu-24.04 and it worked well with Ubuntu-Mate-24.04 as guest but trying to enable shared files and folders between host and guest failed with message that no virtiofsd was available.
Installing virtiofsd as a separate package was successful, allowing sharing as in previous versions of Xubuntu until Mantic 23.10.
Can the package virtiofsd which was not avaiable separately in previous versions be a dependency of virt-manager in order to make sharing much easier to enable?

summary: |
virtiofsd is no longer installed by defaul in 24.04 when virt- - manager/qemu is installed. prior to 23.10 it was i believe a default - install making fie sharing between host and guest much easier. - virtiofsd is now a separate package but is not a dependency of the virt- - manager or qemu packages which would make things much easier when - wanting to share. Is this a possibility or are there reasons why it can - not be installed by deafult as a dependency. Having installed the - package manually with apt it works as it did before with no problems - that I have seen. + manager/qemu is installed. |
