Description Adam Williamson 2012-01-11 20:54:24 UTC
With latest selinux-policy (3.10.0-74), virt-manager runs and finds libvirt (that's fixed since -72), but cannot launch a VM, as selinux prevents it executing /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:

[   95.219139] type=1400 audit(1326315153.934:17): avc:  denied  { entrypoint } for  pid=2130 comm="libvirtd" path="/usr/bin/qemu-kvm" dev=dm-2 ino=170270 scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c754,c782 tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file

setenforce Permissive allows the VM to run, confirming the denial is the problem.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-01-11 21:30:36 UTC
chcon -t qemu_exec_t /usr/bin/qemu-kvm

Will fix the problem.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.10.0-75.fc17
