--- Comment #2 from Charles Arnold 2012-11-28 20:47:18 UTC ---
You are seeing / running two different installer tools. Both tools can
be invoked by virt-manager. The original tool virt-manager uses when the
'Create a new virtual machine' button is pressed is 'vm-install'.
Vm-install has been the default tool for SUSE platforms for many years.
Vm-install is limited to doing local on box installs of VMs and is designed
to provide various defaults for SUSE (and other) platforms. Your screen shot
in comment #1 is vm-install. It requires you to be user 'root' to run.
The other newer installation tool you see is 'virt-install'. This tool is
invoked automatically when the 'Create a new virtual machine' button in
virt-manager is pressed *and* the current connection is remote. In
openSUSE 12.2 it can also be invoked for local installs from virt-manager
if the pop-down option is selected next to the 'Create a new virtual
machine' button and you select 'virt-install'.
If virt-install is used, it follows the rules set by the libvirt daemon.
For security reasons, libvirt switches to user 'qemu' when doing an install
which can create problems for you if qemu's permissions don't allow access
to either the installation source or the target destination. To change this
switching to user 'qemu', you can edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and set the
'user' and 'group' config options back to 'root'. You must restart libvirtd
after doing this (rclibvirtd restart). Another solution would be to grant
user 'qemu' more rights.
I hope this explanation clears up things for you.
