Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system Verify that: - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started ------------------------------- And in the "Details" section: ------------------------------ Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu:///system': authentication failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 456, in _try_open None], flags) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: authentication failed ------------------------------ libvirtd is running and /var/log/messages says: Oct 6 10:47:59 bronsted libvirtd: 10:47:59.170: error : remoteDispatchAuthPolkit:3168 : Policy kit denied action org.libvirt.unix.manage from pid 1220, uid 10178, result: 512#012 even though I had given the respective user the needed privilege in the past. But since M8 I am not even able to give this privilege to the user again (using polkit-auth or polkit-kde-authorization.) Looking that the libvirt changelog revealed that it has recently been updated to use a newer PolicyKit (1.0) API. So I tried rebuilding it with the old PolicyKit API (patch attached) and that package seems to work for me now. (Though it probably better to fix the real problem with the new API, whatever it is.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
