I can confirm the same exactly behaviour on Karmic Beta amd64 Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> Couldn't create storage volume 'test.img': 'cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img': Permission denied' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1485, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 541, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 628, in _do_install self._create_devices(meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 601, in _create_devices disk.setup(progresscb) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/VirtualDisk.py", line 611, in setup self._set_vol_object(self.vol_install.install(meter=progresscb), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Storage.py", line 905, in install (self.name, str(e))) RuntimeError: Couldn't create storage volume 'test.img': 'cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img': Permission denied' '

However I created a new storage pool inside my home folder and the virt-manager was able to create new volumes with no problem. I think it is definetly a perminsions problem. -- virt-manager cannot create image file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405388 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
