When I first attempted to run kvm, it said access to /dev/kvm was denied. So I did "chmod o+rw /dev/kvm" and reloaded. It stopped complaining about permissions, but apparently it won't work unless you have the +x as well (i.e. need to do "chmod o+rwx /dev/kvm" ). Perhaps that should be documented somewhere. Or maybe kvm should specifically check for that and complain early. > > > > Um. Please excuse me but this is a complete bullshit. > > As others pointed out, this is too harsh.

I later got the error again even with /dev/kdm at +rwx. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
