Package: libvirt-bin Version: 1.2.9-2 Severity: important Hello,
ever since upgrading libvirt* to 1.2.9* I am running into the following error when trying to connect: $ virsh connect qemu:///system error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate This is, presumably, due to the changes introduced to the authentication system introduced in da11813 [0], but I am not sure how to ensure that an agent is started properly. My user is, naturally, a member of the expected groups: $ groups [...] libvirt [...] and polkitd is running properly: $ ps aux|grep polkitd root 2072 0.1 0.0 280140 7640 ? Ssl 12:49 0:00 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug I can reproduce this error under both i3 and Gnome and therefore don't necessarily think that it is due to the way my session is being loaded, but could very well be due to me not having installed all necessary packages to ensure that libvirt is able to properly authenticate via polkit. Would you, dear maintainer, be aware of anything that I might like to try to get libvirt 1.2.9 running on sid? [0] Use polkit instead of socket permissions.
