Hello! I have an openSUSE machine running libvirtd which I would like to connect to with virt-manager. However, despite already being a member of the libvirt group and the libvirt-sock* sockets in /run/libvirt having the necessary permissions: glaubitz@XXX:/run/libvirt> ls -l *sock* srw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 21 14:20 libvirt-admin-sock srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Aug 21 14:20 libvirt-sock srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Aug 21 14:20 libvirt-sock-ro srw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 21 14:20 virtlockd-sock srw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 21 14:20 virtlogd-sock glaubitz@XXX:/run/libvirt> I'm still unable to connect, see below. Has anyone an idea what other permissions I have to fix? Do I also need access to the libvirt-admin-sock?
