[Bug 599910] Re: Libvirt/kvm permissions/ownership issue on upgrade from Kosmic to Lucid
Oh, after copying those two stanzas, I restarted the daemon: service libvirt-bin stop service libvirt-bin start -- I'm not sure that this is the best solution. The libvirt folks apparently decided that qemu should run as a non-root user, and that is in general safer. The best solution would be to provide a way for users to convert their systems so that they can run qemu as that user. But this will do for a work-around. -- Libvirt/kvm permissions/ownership issue on upgrade from Kosmic to Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 599910] Re: Libvirt/kvm permissions/ownership issue on upgrade from Kosmic to Lucid
OK, I found a solution, likely the right one. After the upgrade, I found a new file, /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.dpkg-dist. After diffing it against qemu.conf, I copied the following two stanzas from the upgrade file to the configuration file: # The user ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance #user = "libvirt-qemu" user = "root" # The group ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance #group = "kvm" group = "root" I don't know why I missed it during the upgrade. If enough other folks have this problem, it might be worth investigating. Thierry, I'm not sure I can change the status of this to "fixed"; if not would you please do so?
