have you tried a different connection URI?:
--------------<-----------------
$ virsh -c qemu:///system 'list'
-------------->-----------------
If not explicitly stated, the virsh binary uses the 'qemu:///session'
URI
(at least under debian).
See also .. VIRSH(1):
----------------------------------<---------------------------------------
qemu:///system
"connect locally as root to the daemon supervising QEmu and KVM
domains"
qemu:///session
"connect locally as a normal user to his own set of QEmu and KVM
domains"
---------------------------------->---------------------------------------
Please note that in order for the 'qemu:///system' URI to work probably
the
user must be part of the 'libvirt' group. This way you won't have to
touch
the permission set of any of the respective sockets.
I hope this helps ;)
Cheers
Jan
