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"?
