I'm using the same setup and it works fine here. On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 12:22:04PM -0600, Miguel Enrique Cobá Martínez wrote: > unix_sock_group = "libvirt" > unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" > auth_unix_ro = "none" > auth_unix_rw = "none" It seems you can't access the rw socket.
You can also try: cat /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock It should give "cat: /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro: No such device or address" not "permission denied".

Please make sure you use either --connect=qemu:///system (connect to daemon started via /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin) or --connect=qemu:///session (started as user) and retest with virsh and virt-manager. Which version of virt-manager is this? I'm using 0.6.0-6. Cheers, -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
