Description of problem: In the new Fedora 12 beta, I encountered a problem where the default /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf file that came with the system was not configured correctly. I had to uncomment the lines "user = "root"" and "group = "root"" in order to get everything working correctly. These lines came commented and are commented in previous versions of fedora, but they worked that way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt version 0.7.1, fedora version 12 beta How reproducible: all the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Virsh restore some VM 2. Virsh save some vm (you will get an error message here) If you go to /var/log/libvirt/qemu/VM.log, you'll see that the VM had a permission problem. 3. Actual results: virsh save fails and libvirtd needs to be restarted. Expected results: No permission problem and that the VM properly saves itse.f Additional info:
I'm new to the bug reporting thing, so my title was not very great. I changed the title to be more descriptive of the actual problem. I hope this helps
