Hi,
I have a code :
import libvirt
con = libvirt.openReadOnly(None)
print con.listDomainsID()
When i run the above code using root i get the proper output... but when i
use non-root user it givers be a empty list [ ]
If i change the 2nd line to
con = libvirt.open(qemu:///system)
It works.
I am using RHEL 6.1 with default kvm and libvirt.
When you pass 'None' to the open API call, libvirt will guess what
driver to use. If you run non-root, it guesses 'qemu:///session'
but when you run as root it guesses 'qemu:///system'. You should
always pass an explicit URI if you know which one you want to use.
