+Silently fail with wrong vde socket dir
+
+Hi,
+
+Using qemu 0.12.5, kvm silently fail with exit code 1 when using -net vde and a wrong path for sock. Actually, the sock option is mean to be the socket dir of the vde_switch, not the socket itself.
+
+With -net vde,sock=/var/run/vde/vde0/ctl , strace ends with the following messages :
+
+connect(7, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/vde/vde0/ctl/ctl"}, 110) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
+close(7)                                = 0
+close(8)                                = 0
+exit_group(1)                           = ?
+root ~# 
+
+Please add a meaningful message.
+
+Regards,

+Hello,
+
+Could you please provide more data, what kinda of system and version are you running on?

+There's no need to add any more specific information.  The bug's in the code in qemu.
+
+net/vde.c:
+
+static int net_vde_init(VLANState *vlan, const char *model,
+                        const char *name, const char *sock,
+                        int port, const char *group, int mode)
+{
+...
+    vde = vde_open(init_sock, (char *)"QEMU", &args);
+    if (!vde){
+        return -1;
+    }
+...
+}
+
+There's no message generated there.  Callers merely pass the failure up the road, where it's finally handled as exit(1).  If _anything_ is wrong in vde_open() (which can fail due to variety of reasons, including wrong path to the listening socket and what not), nothing will indicate that, just a trivial, silent exit.
+
+Given that you know what the problem is, it would probably have been faster to post a patch than just updating the bug and marking it confirmed....
+
+A fix for this problem has finally been contributed here:
