From f07d7b0c2a90f5888f1f4931274956867b10c793 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yumei Huang Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 09:17:14 +0800 Subject: test: fix 'make assets' failure as root Running `make assets` under `test` as root fails with a "Permission denied" error when `prepare-distro-img.sh` invokes `virt-edit` and `guestfish`. This is due to a known bug in libvirt. Work around the issue by switching to the direct backend. Signed-off-by: Yumei Huang Reviewed-by: Richard W.M.
