Description of problem: I create a VM using virsh create, and then I save the image using virsh save. When I try to use virsh restore, I get an error: error: Failed to restore domain from /aml/images/pr104.img error: internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output /var/log/messages had the following error message: error : qemudReadMonitorOutput:827 : internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output I will attach the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/pr104.log file.

*** Bug 533306 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I created a workaround for this bug by editing /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and uncommenting the lines "user = "root"" and "group = "root"".
Fixing product since this is reporting Fedora RPM version.
Created attachment 369015 [details] Fix save & restore with unprivileged guests, and SELinux When running qemu:///system instance, libvirtd runs as root, but QEMU may optionally be configured to run non-root. When then saving a guest to a state file, the file is initially created as root, and thus QEMU cannot write to it. It is also missing labelling required to allow access via SELinux. This patch fixes those issues. http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-November/msg00376.html
