Thanks Nils, putting this on F12VirtTarget since it's unlikely to be fixed for F-11 Doing this via PolicyKit sounds sane - it would be similar to how nautilus allows users to do NFS mounts, probably Perhaps virt-manager could display a slightly more informative error message in the meantime. E.g. if it's running as non-root, tell the user that nfs installations aren't possible? Ah, I see we already had this filed - see bug #501922 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 501922 *** |
Description of problem: When attempting to install a VM from an NFS location, I get an error message about missing privileges after step 2 ("Provide the operating system URL"). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.400.3-8.fc11.noarch qemu-0.10.5-3.fc11.x86_64 virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start virt-manager 2. Create a new machine 3. In step 1, choose "Network Install (HTTP, FTP or NFS)" 4. In step 2, use an NFS URL like "nfs://somehost.domain.tld/.../fedora/11/Fedora/x86_64/os", then click on "Forward" Actual results: Error dialog titled "Input Error": """ Error setting install media location. Privilege is required for NFS installations """ I'm never asked for any credentials which would possibly give me this privilege. Expected results: Possibly at this point, virt-manager/PolicyKit should prompt me to type in the root password to acquire the necessary authorization. Additional info:
