Jens, does this work with SELinux in permissive mode? If so, could you post the SELinux errors? Thanks
Also, what virtinst version are you using? Are you launching virt-manager as root?

Yes, I give the root passwd to access the local libvirtd.
*** Bug 498762 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Can you reproduce with the latest version of python-virtinst from updates testing?
(In reply to comment #5) > Can you reproduce with the latest version of python-virtinst from updates > testing? No that seems to fix it, thanks.
I'll update virt-manager in updates-testing to depend on the latest python-virtinst.
