Hello, I cannot connect to localhost Xen with non-root user. The virt-manager says the following message, Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> virConnectOpenAuth() failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 414, in _open_thread None], flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 94, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: virConnectOpenAuth() failed I guess this problem occurs from Cset:680 http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=1892867ca5c7 Before that Cset, connection was able to succeed since the virt-manager tried to connect with libvirt.openReadOnly after failed to libvirt.open, even if 'self.readOnly' was None. After that Cset, 'flags' for libvirt.openAuth depend on 'self.readOnly' though 'self.readOnly' is never set. I'm not sure where the readOnly flags should be set, but how about this fix for readOnly flags ? --- diff -r 07ff9bffe54d src/virtManager/connection.py --- a/src/virtManager/connection.py Mon Feb 18 10:02:21 2008 -0500 +++ b/src/virtManager/connection.py Wed Feb 20 17:00:41 2008 +0900 @@ -403,8 +403,9 @@ class vmmConnection(gobject.GObject): logging.debug("Background thread is running") try: flags = 0 - if self.readOnly: + if os.getuid() != 0: flags = libvirt.VIR_CONNECT_RO + self.readOnly = True self.vmm = libvirt.openAuth(self.uri, [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME, Regards, Saori Fukuta _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
