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. As before membership
in the libvirt group gives r/w access to all VMs
