Details

Description: qemu-0.10.2-1 package is missing /etc/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules file, and so the udev-created /dev/kvm has ownership root:root (660). Hence qemu-kvm is not usable for regular users, regardless of membership in the kvm group.


Steps to reproduce:
update to qemu-0.10.2-1, run qemu-kvm (or 'qemu --enable-kvm') -> the result is:
Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied
failed to initialize KVM
This task depends upon

Sorry tpowa for bugging you, now it all works, just the filename is wrong (65-kqemu.rules instead of 65-kvm.rules)
