Ok. I installed qemu (in contrast to qemu-kvm) because I thought it received more testing than a fork, since it closer to upstream. Whatever... I installed qemu-kvm instead now and the message vanished. Please allow me to attach another question to this thread, presumably simpler. My / is on an SSD, /home is on a HD. I'm the only user on the machine. Default path for libvirt/virt-manager to store images seems to be /var/lib/libvirt/images and I can't change this as user. What is the right way to store the images elsewhere? Modify etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml ?

Symlink /var/lib/libvirt/images to /home/florian/... ?
