Michael, Thanks for the quick response. I see the following: [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:27:09 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (connection:482) conn=qemu:///system changed to state=Active [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:27:13 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (vmmenu:210) Starting vm 'testFedora' [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:27:13 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (error:101) error dialog message: summary=Error starting domain: can't connect to virtlogd: Unable to open system token /run/libvirt/common/system.token: Permission denied details=Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 72, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 108, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 57, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/domain.py", line 1402, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1373, in create raise libvirtError('virDomainCreate() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: can't connect to virtlogd: Unable to open system token /run/libvirt/common/system.token: Permission denied [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:46:48 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (manager:196) Closing manager [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:46:48 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (engine:323) window counter decremented to 0 [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:46:48 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (engine:343) No windows found, requesting app exit [Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:46:48 virt-manager 4054] DEBUG (connection:838) conn.close() uri=qemu:///system After further investigation, I see that /run/libvirt/common has permissions of: drwx------. 2 root root 60 Jan 1 22:44 common Since I am running virt-manager from my userid, I think this is probably the issue. Any suggestions on how to access /run/libvirt/common/system.token as a non-priviledged user of virt-manager?
