Description David 2009-11-06 00:34:24 UTC

Description of problem:
In the new Fedora 12 beta, I encountered a problem where the default /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf file that came with the system was not configured correctly. I had to uncomment the lines "user = "root"" and "group = "root"" in order to get everything working correctly. These lines came commented and are commented in previous versions of fedora, but they worked that way.




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt version 0.7.1, fedora version 12 beta

How reproducible:
all the time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Virsh restore some VM
2. Virsh save some vm (you will get an error message here)
If you go to /var/log/libvirt/qemu/VM.log, you'll see that the VM had a permission problem.
3.
  
Actual results:
virsh save fails and libvirtd needs to be restarted.

Expected results:
No permission problem and that the VM properly saves itse.f

I'm new to the bug reporting thing, so my title was not very great. I changed the title to be more descriptive of the actual problem. I hope this helps
