virt-manager and user ID

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I use debian testing and virt-manager 0.9.1.
I don't understand why virtual machines that i try to create cannot read files that i own, such as .iso files
I see that kvm is started with user=libvirt-qemu, but i really don't understand why. Why isn't kvm started with the user that started virtual-manager ?
Is there a way to tell virt-manager to start kvm with the same user he has been started with, so that kvm could read my .iso file ?

another, related question:
How could 2 users start their own VMs and be sure that VM of user #1 cannot write on disks of user #2, if both VMs are started in user=libvirt-qemu ?

Thanks
