I ran into this bug too... but noticed that if I run virt-manager as root, it works fine. In the past, running virt-manager as a user would prompt for the root password... but it no longer is... which I assume is causing this error. Hmm, the original bug report says that they are running virt-manager as root... but in my cause, I can run it as root just fine... and it is only when run as a user do I get the error reported. Version of virt-manager: virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc14.noarch This problem has cleared itself up for me after numerous packages updates leading to the final release of Fedora 14. I couldn't tell you what fixed it... just that I no longer am experiencing the problem. If I login to a Gnome graphical desktop then do an 'su' to root, and run virt-manager I get the issue, If I run 'su -' I don't get it. The su vs. su - issue is a separate bug that doesn't appear to be virt-manager specific. i've filed that against gconf: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681390 the other issues have already been reported. duping *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 579579 *** |
