As a regular user, member of the libvirt group, I run this command to create a basic VM: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=test --ram 2048 --cpu host-model-only --os-variant=win7 --disk /myVM/test --boot cdrom,hd --virt-type kvm --graphics spice --controller scsi,model=virtio-scsi --cdrom=/drawer/myIso/w8.iso It returns an error : --------------------------------- Starting install... ERROR internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied --------------------------------- $ getfacl /dev/kvm # file: dev/kvm # owner: root # group: kvm user::rw- user:martinus:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- The command return seems to indicate rights are correct. $ lsmod return kvm & kvm_intel are loaded. If I run the virt-install with qemu:///session, I do not have this issue and can create the VM. I found many entries about the KVM permission issue, but with no clear answer to solve it.
