Bug 499638

Running virt-manager as non-root results in ...

Summary:

SELinux is preventing libvirtd (virtd_t) "getattr" unconfined_notrans_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by libvirtd. It is not expected that this access
is required by libvirtd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
