Description Tadej Janež 2013-10-08 13:28:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
I was following the F20 Virtualization Test Day instructions and installed F20 Beta TC2, followed by 'yum groupinstall virtualization'.

Then I tried to use the virt-manager's 'New VM' wizard to install the same F20 Beta TC2 as a virtual machine.
I put the ISO file into $HOME/Downloads and pointed the wizard to it.
The wizard failed after pressing "Finish" with the following error:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Warning: option deprecated, use lost_tick_policy property of kvm-pit instead.
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/home/tadej/Downloads/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-Beta-TC2.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,readonly=on,format=raw: could not open disk image /home/tadej/Downloads/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-Beta-TC2.iso: Permission denied
'

For details also see the attached virt-manager.log.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.10.0-4.git79196cdf.fc20.noarch

Actual results:
Creating a new VM failed.

Expected results:
Virt-manager would ask the user if it is allowed to change the appropriate permissions so that the ISO in $HOME/Downloads could be used for creating a new VM.

Turning of SELinux via 'sudo setenforce 0' had no effect, the wizard returned the same error.

As a work-around, I moved the ISO to /var/lib/libvirt/images directory and then all worked smoothly.

I have the same problem, same version.
Oct 09 19:42:18 f20s.localdomain libvirtd[747]: libvirt version: 1.1.3, package: 2.fc20 (Fedora Project, 2013-10-06-19:24:41, buildvm-11.phx2.fedoraproject.org)
Oct 09 19:42:18 f20s.localdomain libvirtd[747]: failed to connect to monitor socket: No such process
Oct 09 19:42:18 f20s.localdomain libvirtd[747]: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Warning: option deprecated, use lost_tick_policy property of kvm-pit instead.
                                                qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/home/chris/Documents/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-Beta-TC2.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,readonly=on,format=raw: could not open disk image /home/chris/Documents/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-Beta-TC2.iso: Permission denied

The permissions on the ISO are:
-rwxr-xr-x. qemu qemu system_u:object_r:virt_content_t:s0 Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-Beta-TC2.iso

If I move the file to /var/lib/libvirt/images I no longer get the error.
Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2013-10-10 13:24:24 UTC 
Pretty sure this is the same root issue as bz 1016825, our build configuration isn't sticking. We use build flags to tell virt-manager that Fedora libvirt defaults to running qemu as qemu:qemu, we then check the selected disk images/media to ensure that the VM will be able to access, and offer to fix if not. That offer would have solved this problem
Comment 4 Chris Murphy 2013-10-10 15:47:24 UTC 
I did get the offer to fix something related to permissions for the directory the ISO was located in, which I agreed to, but I still encountered the problem.
