Description Geert Jansen 2008-04-27 09:15:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

Starting up virt-manager on Fedora 9 as a normal user results in an AVC denial
and breaks virt-manager.

Running virt-manager as root works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-35.fc9.noarch
libvirt-0.4.2-1.fc9.x86_64
virt-manager-0.5.4-3.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install F9 preview release, including virt-manager and kvm.
2. Run Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager
3. The system asks for the root password.
4. Error message: Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.
See attachment.
  
Actual results:

virt-manager cannot open a connection to libvirtd

Expected results:

virt-manager can connect and manage local virtual machines
