Hi Cole,
Host - Debian 5.0
KVM
Libvert
This Virtual Machine has been running sometimes.
Before, on Gnome desktop
Applications - Sytem Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager
starts;
Autheticate
System Policy prevents management of local virtualized systems
.....
After entering root password -> Authenticate
starts "Virtual Machine Manager"
For unknown cause/incident ;
On Gnome desktop;
Applications - Sytem Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager
popup following error

Then I ran "apt-get remove libvert" to remove it. And reinstalled it later.
However
Applications - System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager
starts "Virtual Machine Manager" without asking for root password to authenticate
$ ls -al /home/satimis/ | grep virt-manager
drwxr-xr-x 2 satimis satimis 4096 2009-05-31 06:11 .virt-manager
If I change its owner to "root root" it popup above warning. I can't start "Virtual Machine Manager".
How can I restore its original state requesting root password for authentication before starting "Virtual Machine Manager"? TIA
B.R.
Stephen
