[libvirt-users] polkit error when starting virt-manager on fedora14
Hi, I have the following error in syslog when starting virt-manager and trying to connect: May 25 16:39:33 sage libvirtd: 16:39:33.525: error : remoteDispatchAuthPolkit:3846 : Policy kit denied action org.libvirt.unix.manage from pid 27509, uid 500, result: 512 I can manually start the kvm guest using virsh, but why can't virt-manager start them? This is on fedora14 x86_64: # rpm -qva|egrep 'virt|polkit|qemu' polkit-qt-0.99.0-2.fc14.x86_64 qemu-img-0.13.0-1.fc14.x86_64 python-virtkey-0.50-8.fc14.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.13.0-1.fc14.x86_64 polkit-0.98-5.fc14.x86_64 polkit-gnome-0.97-4.fc14.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.8.3-9.fc14.x86_64 virt-viewer-0.2.1-1.fc13.x86_64 gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.1-3.fc14.noarch virt-top-1.0.4-3.fc13.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.8.3-9.fc14.x86_64 virtuoso-opensource-6.1.2-1.fc14.x86_64 qemu-common-0.13.0-1.fc14.x86_64 polkit-desktop-policy-0.98-5.fc14.noarch redland-virtuoso-1.0.12-1.fc14.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.500.6-1.fc14.noarch libvirt-0.8.3-9.fc14.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-0.13.0-1.fc14.x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.7-2.fc14.noarch Please let me know what other information I can provide to fix this problem. I haven't rebooted yet, but I suspect at least that would fix it? Thanks, Alex

Looks like it's just a change in functionality without any regular indication. I followed the instructions here and it works again: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHPolicyKitSetup Regards, Alex
