Problem still exists in f8. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Still in f9 Is there any reason why this group isn't created by default? it sounds like a good idea. FYI, our intention is to make the device world accessible by defualt for future Fedora releases https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497341 I think it is still reasonable to also have a 'kvm' group for the /dev/kvm device, so we can leave this BZ open too Adding that the RPM should also create a 'kvm' user account, so that libvirt's qemu:///system driver can run the QEMU / KVM processes as a system account that isn't root. The setup RPM already has a kvm group. In qemu-0.10.50-10.kvm87.fc12 we now create that if it does not already exist, to cope with upgrades from older Fedora. THe /dev/kvm device is also set to have 'kvm' group ownership |
