Description Tim Waugh 2009-08-12 16:18:41 UTC
Description of problem:
virt-manager fails to connect to libvirt.  I'm logged in at the console on a fresh rawhide install, and libvirtd is running.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.7.0-3.fc12.x86_64
virt-manager-0.8.0-1.fc12.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start virt-manager.
  
Actual results:
'Connection Failure' dailog:

Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started

Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu:///system':
Failed to collect auth credentials
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 456, in _try_open
    None], flags)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: Failed to collect auth credentials

Worked fine in Fedora 11.

strace reveals this to have the same cause as bug #515906:
