All, I know that libvirtd is running. How can I quickly make this policy change to ask for the password again? I try running that command /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 tool from the command and no luck. I'll have to read up on it. Thanks again, [root@system ~]# ps -ef | grep libvirtd root 2250 1 0 May21 ? 00:00:00 libvirtd --daemon root 7973 7909 0 14:01 pts/5 00:00:00 grep libvirtd [root@system ~]# On 5/22/2010 1:59 PM, Paolo Galtieri wrote: > On 05/22/2010 10:11 AM, Tom Horsley wrote: > >> On Sat, 22 May 2010 10:03:27 -0700 >> Paolo Galtieri wrote: >> >> >> >>> When I tried running the virtual machine manager as a regular user I >>> was prompted for the root password. >>> >>> >> Ah, but the root password prompt comes from the >> /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 >> tool, if you are trying to use virt-manager, but >> aren't in a gnome session, you'll need to get that >> running first.
