Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.4.6-4 Severity: important As per the readme, any user that is part of libvirt group should be able to access/use/create guest VMs.
With the above in place, when trying to create a VM, I get the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 303, in forward if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page()) != True): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1008, in validate vmmutil.build_default_pool(self._guest.conn) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/util.py", line 54, in build_default_pool (DEFAULT_POOL_PATH, str(e))) RuntimeError: Couldn't create default storage pool '/var/lib/libvirt/images': Could not start storage pool: cannot open path '/var/lib/libvirt/images': No such file or directory Indeed, there's no "images" folder. And one is not created because /var/lib/libvirt is owned root.root. Simply changing the ownership to root.libvirt and g+wx fixed the problem.
