Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 2.4.0-1+b1
Severity: important
I discovered today that setting "dynamic_ownership = 0" in
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf seems to break the creation of new VMs.
I set dynamic_ownership=0 because libvirt was improperly seizing
ownership of read-only ISO images.
Unfortunately, libvirt doesn't seem to be smart enough to change the
permission of newly created .qcow2 files under /var/lib/libvirt/images
when dynamic_ownership=0.
I get the following error with VMM/virt-manager when attempting to
create a new VM:
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the
