virt-install looks ok
Could you include ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log and /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/$guest.log? If you do chmod o+x /home/someone does it work? qemu now runs as the qemu user instead of root. See: http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#securitydac

Created attachment 361597 [details] virt-manager.log
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/ is empty
How about "chmod o+x /home/petersen/.virtinst /home/petersen/.virtinst/boot" ? See bug #523960 Log file is in /var/log/libvirt/qemu
(In reply to comment #6) > How about "chmod o+x /home/petersen/.virtinst /home/petersen/.virtinst/boot" ? Bingo - thanks! So is this a duplicate of bug 523960? > Log file is in /var/log/libvirt/qemu Ok, do you still need it?
Nope, log file shouldn't be required. Duping to 523960 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 523960 ***
