Description of problem: Upgraded from F23 to F24, trying to start my work-related qemu:///session VMs. After working around another regression (bug 1352263), I encountered this: error: Failed to start domain <name> error: internal error: Process exited prior to exec: libvirt: error : internal error: cannot apply process capabilities -1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.3.1-4.fc24 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the qemu:///session guest 2. Fails with the error above Actual results: Requires an security-reducing workaround: Setting clear_emulator_capabilities=0 in ~/.config/libvirt/qemu.conf (which didn't exist previously btw). Expected results: Previously I was able to run qemu:///session guests without any security-reducing step. Additional info:
Well, I don't know what changed; I wrote a user unit file to work around bug 1352263 and have virtlogd running whenever I log in; then when I tried to reproduce this bug, I could no longer do so. Closing for now, will reopen if it happens again.
I think this is actually a duplicate of bug 1351995, which claims installing audit >= 2.6.2-1 fixes the issue, so I guess this could have fixed the issue for you...

That seems to be the case, audit was upgraded yesterday just as I was reading up on unit files. Thanks for the quick response folks!
