Hi all!
Do you have any idea about the following error message from virt-manager. 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. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Could not send message to GConf daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

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"?
Regards,
Allen

You should set up correct permissions for libvirtd (cf. libvirtd.conf,
unix_sock_group) and use virt-manager/virsh as unprivileged user.
