Install link

Two well known ways are used to install qemu-guest-agent-git from AUR. pacman is the choice for you if you are a veteran in command-line interface and know the concept of how packages are built. Otherwise, yay is a convenient alternative to install packages without the need to review PKGBUILD and build packages with makepkg afterwards.

Install with pacman link

sudo pacman -S --needed git && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/qemu-guest-agent-git.git && cd qemu-guest-agent-git && makepkg -sicontent_copy

1. Install git if required (not installed before).
2. clone the package’s git repository from AUR.
3. cd into the folder of the repository.
4. Build the package with makepkg . Also, it will automatically be installed with pacman if built successfully.

Install with yay link

yay -S qemu-guest-agent-gitcontent_copy

Update link

Just like installing AUR packages, updating them is almost the same. All you have to do is pull it from source then re-build it. Yet, it is still a good practice to upgrade your whole system first with sudo pacman -Syu before updating any packages to avoid dependency issues, since Arch is a rolling-release Linux distro.

Update with pacman link

Make certain you’re in the directory of the repository you previously cloned before running the command:

git pull && makepkg -sicontent_copy

1. pull from the package’s git repository.
2. Use makepkg to build the package. Also, it will automatically be updated with pacman afterwards.

Update with yay link

Remove link

Removing packages is the simplest of these three,just choose whether to purge the dependencies that no longer required by other packages and the configuration files used by the package.

Remove with pacman link

sudo pacman -R qemu-guest-agent-gitcontent_copy

sudo pacman -Rs qemu-guest-agent-gitcontent_copy

sudo pacman -Rns qemu-guest-agent-gitcontent_copy

Remove with yay link

yay -R qemu-guest-agent-gitcontent_copy

DESCRIPTION

The QEMU Guest Agent is a daemon intended to be run within virtual machines. It allows the hypervisor host to perform various operations in the guest, such as:

• get information from the guest
• set the guest’s system time
• read/write a file
• sync and freeze the filesystems
• suspend the guest
• reconfigure guest local processors
• set user’s password
• .

qemu-ga will read a system configuration file on startup (located at /etc/qemu/qemu-ga.conf by default), then parse remaining configuration options on the command line. For the same key, the last option wins, but the lists accumulate (see below for configuration file format).

OPTIONS

-m, —method=METHOD Transport method: one of unix-listen, virtio-serial, or isa-serial, or vsock-listen (virtio-serial is the default).

-p, —path=PATH Device/socket path (the default for virtio-serial is /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0, the default for isa-serial is /dev/ttyS0). Socket addresses for vsock-listen are written as : .

# qemu-ga configuration sample [general] daemonize = 0 pidfile = /var/run/qemu-ga.pid verbose = 0 method = virtio-serial path = /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 statedir = /var/run
