[DNG] libvirt - can't create snapshot
Hi, I test devuan with libvirt (Virtual Machine Manager 0.9.1) on Debian 7.11. I would like to create snapshot but when I type as root: 1) "virsh snapshot-create-as --domain devuan_jessie --name snapshot1 --description "clear system" error: failed to get domain 'devuan_jessie' error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown". 2) "virsh list --all" command return empty list. Has anyone had this problem before? Regards, Paweł ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Re: [DNG] libvirt - can't create snapshot
In my experience, there's no need to be root for creating and running libvirt VM's. I needed to be root only to set up the VDE host-only network for them to attach to, and then all else can be done non-root. Ralph.

mmm... I'm fairly sure I don't grasp the full depth of your note, but certainly I don't want to be taken for a SystemD guy. Ralph.
