Description:
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/ should be writable by the kvm group or VMs won't boot Additional info: package version qemu 1.7.0-2 Steps to reproduce: make sure user and group for qemu-kvm in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf are set to "kvm" , try to define and boot a new VM |
This task depends upon

*NOTE* this only happens when qemu.conf is configured to launch
qemu-kvm with the kvm user credentials, not with the default
config where it is launched as root. Yet, the directory is group
owned by the kvm group. Why don't we set kvm user and group in
qemu.conf by default for qemu-kvm?

Tobias, I see there has been an update for the libvirt package but
this hasn't been fixed. What is your take on my request in comment
#1 ?
