Description Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2015-04-16 12:29:50 UTC
Description of problem:

Apparently libvirt allows an unpriv user to add VMs to the existing virbr0, but I can't, as an unprivileged user create a network to access it using the GUI

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.1.0-7.git6dbe19bd8.fc22.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Details window on a qemu://session connection
2. Add a network

Actual results:
Nowhere to specify the bridge

Expected results:
Be able to select a bridge that you're allowed to use

    netlist: Allow specifying a manual bridge name for qemu:///session (bz 1212443)
    
    Since qemu has the setuid qemu-bridge-helper, give a way in the UI
    to specify a manual bridge name for qemu:///session. Might not work
    all the time but at least the users can try
