Hi,
I have encountered problem running virsh as non-root user. I am using eucalyptus software
on top of KVM, eucalyptus requires to run virsh as non-root user.
I've found that people had similiar issue posted in the list, but I didn't find
the solution. I've tried few things.
1) put user eucalyptus in the libvirt group.
2) even changed owner /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock to eucalyptus.
it didn't help. the followins showed some debug information. I would appreciate your
help.
export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1
