Description of problem: After fixing PolicyKit bug #517257, virt-manager now connects successfully when I am logged in at the console as a non-root user. Clicking New to create a new guest does not let me do so, however. The New VM dialog only allows me to enter a name, and to press Cancel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.8.0-1.fc12 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click New Actual results: Dialog as described. Additional info: Running 'virt-manager --debug' gives this output when trying to add a new guest: 2009-08-13 12:38:59,730 (virt-manager:148): Application startup 2009-08-13 12:39:00,338 (netdevhelper:81): Bonding masters are: [] 2009-08-13 12:39:00,347 (netdevhelper:176): Adding net device tun0 00:00:00:00:00:00 /sys/class/net/tun0 (bridge: None) 2009-08-13 12:39:00,355 (netdevhelper:176): Adding net device virbr0 be:b6:22:ff:ff:ff /sys/class/net/virbr0 (bridge: None) 2009-08-13 12:39:00,364 (netdevhelper:176): Adding net device lo 00:00:00:00:00:00 /sys/class/net/lo (bridge: None) 2009-08-13 12:39:00,372 (netdevhelper:176): Adding net device eth0 00:13:72:ff:ff:ff /sys/class/net/eth0 (bridge: None) 2009-08-13 12:39:00,394 (engine:112): About to connect to uris ['qemu:///system'] /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/manager.py:152: GtkWarning: gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed self.window = gtk.glade.XML(config.get_glade_dir() + "/vmm-manager.glade", "vmm-manager", domain="virt-manager") 2009-08-13 12:39:00,591 (engine:369): window counter incremented to 1 2009-08-13 12:39:00,669 (connection:346): Scheduling background open thread for qemu:///system 2009-08-13 12:39:00,670 (connection:461): Background thread is running 2009-08-13 12:39:00,674 (connection:357): Doing policykit for org.libvirt.unix.manage 2009-08-13 12:39:01,177 (connection:501): Background open thread complete, scheduling notify 2009-08-13 12:39:01,178 (connection:506): Notifying open result 2009-08-13 12:39:01,180 (connection:513): qemu:///system capabilities: <capabilities> <host> <cpu> <arch>x86_64</arch> </cpu> <migration_features> <live/> <uri_transports> <uri_transport>tcp</uri_transport> </uri_transports> </migration_features> <topology> <cells num='1'> <cell id='0'> <cpus num='2'> <cpu id='0'/> <cpu id='1'/> </cpus> </cell> </cells> </topology> <secmodel> <model>selinux</model> <doi>0</doi> </secmodel> </host> </capabilities> 2009-08-13 12:39:02,966 (create:332): Error determining default hypervisor Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 330, in set_conn_state self.change_caps() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 695, in change_caps arch=arch) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/CapabilitiesParser.py", line 421, in guest_lookup {'virttype' : osstr, 'arch' : archstr}) ValueError: Host does not support any virtualization options 2009-08-13 12:39:05,408 (engine:373): window counter decremented to 0 2009-08-13 12:39:05,421 (engine:381): Exiting app normally.
Oh, never mind, I didn't have qemu installed. For some reason it wasn't showing the dialog telling me this until after I played around with adding new connections from the menu bar.
