Hi folks!
I'm trying to connect to a self-compiled libvirt 9.10.0 from python, but
get the following error:
Python 3.12.0 (main, Oct 3 2023, 19:47:47) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license"
for more information.
>>> import libvirt as lv
>>> conn = lv.openReadOnly(None)
libvirt: DBus Utils error : error from service:

libvirt.libvirtError: error from service:

What is the issue here? Also, I've grepped the error in any source but
found nothing!
That's because this error message does not come from libvirt but
PolicyKit. I suspect that either you did not install "*.policy" files:
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/50-libvirt.rules
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.libvirt.unix.policy
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.libvirt.api.policy
or you did, but polkit daemon wasn't restarted (though I would have
sworn it can reload rules dynamically).
