I tried launching it from terminal. I got an error saying that it needed root privileges. I tried launching sudo virt-manager from terminal. I got an error saying that dbus session does not exist (why is dbus needed anyway ?) I tried launching from a root shell (instead of a sudo), I get an error popup: Error launching manager: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 840, in _do_show_create create = vmmCreate(virtman=True,key=0) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vminstall/gtk/interface.py", line 128, in __init__ vminstall.options.calculate(options, defaults) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vminstall/options.py", line 392, in calculate defaults.connect = libvirt_hypervisor.LibVirtHypervisor("qemu:///system") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vminstall/libvirt_hypervisor.py", line 59, in __init__ self.virConn = libvirt.openReadOnly(self.uri) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 247, in openReadOnly if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed') libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory P.S: I could not find a Virtualization or KVM component, so I am filing this under Kernel, please re-assign to any valid component. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
