[libvirt-users] How could the admin do to grant me with permission to run virsh as unprivileged user?

Thank you! How could the admin do to grant me with permission to run virsh as unprivileged user? Also by configurating libvirtd.conf, unix_sock_group? 2014-10-28 Allen Qiu 发件人：libvirt-users-request(a)redhat.com 发送时间：2014-10-28 00:00 主题：libvirt-users Digest, Vol 58, Issue 33 收件人：&quot;libvirt-users&quot;&lt;libvirt-users(a)redhat.com&gt; 抄送： Send libvirt-users mailing list submissions to libvirt-users(a)redhat.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to libvirt-users-request(a)redhat.com You can reach the person managing the list at libvirt-users-owner(a)redhat.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of libvirt-users digest..."

I was trying to start it with "sudo virt-manager". Do you think I can fix this by simply restarting libvirtd? Regards, Allen Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

Message-ID: <6b47a489.4b48.14950bb1af4.Coremail.my1stbox(a)163.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi all, What is the difference between starting virt-manager by "virt-manager" and by "sudo virt-manager"? It seems that there are two copy of virt-manager running in the background. When I run "virt-manager", I got a error of "Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon. Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system Verify that: - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started". Whereas when I run "sudo virt-manager", I got a error of "Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information." How should I deal with the two issues respectively? Is there any drawback by simply running "virt-manager"?
