Hi, I was trying to run some VMs via "guix system vm", and I noticed that I didn't have permission to use KVM. This issue can be worked around by running qemu as root, or by adding yourself to the "kvm" group. However, I found it curious that the /dev/kvm device didn't have ACLs granting me access:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ getfacl /dev/kvm getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/kvm # owner: root # group: kvm user::rw- group::rw- other::--- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Is it expected that on Guix System, /dev/kvm does not by default receive ACLs granting me access? I'm logged into a GNOME session via GDM, and I was under the impression that logind or udevd would automatically set up ACLs for me to access local devices, such as /dev/kvm and /dev/sr0, in this case. Note that I DO have ACLs for some other devices, such as video0: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ getfacl /dev/video0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/video0 # owner: root # group: video user::rw- user:marusich:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Chris
