Hi,

I would like to allow a user (non-root) to access the console of his VM (he's got root access on it). Using sudo doesn't seem to work: /bin/virsh console vm error: failed to get domain 'vm' error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'vm' If I assign suid to virsh, I get: 'error: Failed to initialize libvirt'

When you are running virsh as a non-root, you are connecting to the session interface by default. Use 'virsh uri' to see where you are connecting. You need to use 'virsh -c qemu:///system' to connect to the system daemon (the default can be set in ~/.config/libvirt/libvirt.conf). To configure which user has access to the system daemon, see the configuration options in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf (there are various authentication and permission options). For fine grained ACLs you can use e.g. polkit, see http://libvirt.org/aclpolkit.html Martin

I don't see any information on Internet about this. What is the procedure to follow to get this result (QEMU conf, libvirt conf, etc)?

Thank you in advance.
