When defining a VM with an emulated smartcard as specified at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsSmartcard, the VM won't start and issues the following error: 2013-01-27 03:38:19.224+0000: starting up LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -name build2 -S -M pc-1.2 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 23979824-dcd9-5a8d-61a7-5f5bc625aedd -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/build2.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device usb-ccid,id=ccid0 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/build2.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=37,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=38 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:39:28:d9,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -device ccid-card-emulated,backend=certificates,cert1=cert1,cert2=cert2,cert3=cert3,database=/etc/pki/libvirt-smartcard,id=smartcard0,bus=ccid0.0 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -spice port=5904,tls-port=5905,addr=0.0.0.0,x509-dir=/etc/pki/libvirt-spice -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 char device redirected to /dev/pts/6 qemu-kvm: -device ccid-card-emulated,backend=certificates,cert1=cert1,cert2=cert2,cert3=cert3,database=/etc/pki/libvirt-smartcard,id=smartcard0,bus=ccid0.0: Property '.database' not found 2013-01-27 03:38:19.871+0000: shutting down Using: qemu-kvm-1.2.2-4.fc18.x86_64 libvirt-0.10.2.2-3.fc18.x86_64 virt-manager-0.9.4-4.fc18.noarch kernel3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 In http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=blob;f=hw/ccid-card-emulated.c;h=f4a6da4283a3a27eaff154be7ad6ca75dee900d5;hb=HEAD#l25 (for roughly the version I'm using) it states that the parameter "db" should be used.
