[libvirt-users] Where are libvirt's USB autroredirection settings stored?
For security reasons Debian's libvirt maintainer has opted to disable the default behavior of autoredirecting any newly attached USB device to a running VM with SPICE USB redirection ports added. I tried looking for an obvious setting in virt-manager's menus to change this but can't see anything. What libvirt/virt-manager configuration file is this setting stored so I can change it on demand?

Turns out this behavior was caused partly by a custom setting in the libvirt Debian package. Setting it to true should have been enough to allow automatic redirection of any newly plugged in USB device but it still doesn't work. My guess is that something else (in polkit?) is preventing the desired action but I don't know what. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151798 The responsible config file: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10_virt-manager.gschema.override [org.virt-manager,virt-manager.console] auto-redirect=false
