Hi,
I'm trying to work remotely on a server with F12, using vnc.
When I start virt-manager, I do not get the authentication popup, and instead I get this

Are you running virt-manager over VNC? There were problems like this in
the past, since VNC isn't a full desktop session, PolicyKit doesn't run.
Other then that, not sure what could be wrong.
