[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1453612] [NEW] set_password command of monitor has poor feedback on failure

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

running `set_password vnc NkkmEz5icvTAGo6MECzBVEUxP` in qemu monitor
(which is the appropriate way to set a vnc password according to `man
qemu-system-x86_64`) started with `-monitor stdio` gives feedback `Could
not set password` which is unhelpful because it doesn't specify the
reason of the failure.
