Virt manager's desktop entry /usr/share/applications/YaST2/virt-manager.desktop doesn't instruct the desktop environment (or at least KDE) to attempt gaining root privileges by asking the root password from the user, so virt-manager will run as the user logged in to X.
When an ordinary user logs in, virt-manager won't be able to connect to xend. Please fix /usr/share/applications/YaST2/virt-manager.desktop
The virt-manager.desktop file already contains "X-SuSE-YaST-RootOnly=true" and when I launch virt-manager as a user either from the command line or yast menu I am prompted for a root password. I am using the final released version of 11.2. Please retry with the final release and report back. Also make sure xend is running - if it is not, commands like 'xm list' will also fail. -- 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.
