You would need to add "/usr/bin/env" to your sudoers file, and being able to set root's environment can have security consequences I don't like. But surely it can be a solution in some cases.

You would need to add “/usr/bin/env” to your sudoers file, and being able to set root’s environment can have security consequences I don’t like.

But surely it can be a solution in some cases.

Thanks for your feedback!

In this case you will need to login as root or become root with "su". What if you use: $ sudo env TMPDIR=/var/whatever qemu ... Wouldn't it set the tmpdir variable right, when starting qemu?

What if you use:
$ sudo env TMPDIR=/var/whatever qemu …

Wouldn’t it set the tmpdir variable right, when starting qemu?

Best regards.
