That sounds familiar. |

Because the KVM Virtual Manager is designed such that it can administer |
| 10 |
KVM / libvirt / qemu on multiple systems. It's really client-server |
| 11 |
infrastructure. You're just needing to point the client at your local |
| 12 |
server one time. |

Try re-starting the libvirt / kvm daemons. They may not be aware that |
| 21 |
your user is now a member of the proper group. -- Aside: This is why |
| 22 |
a reboot is ... convenient, but not required. |

This /should/ be taken care of proper group administration for your |
| 25 |
normal user. |

I ran into this a long time ago when I set up KVM on my last Gentoo |
| 28 |
system. I don't remember exactly what I had to do to resolve it. I do |
| 29 |
know that it was less than five minutes of searching the web to find the |
| 30 |
answer, cussing at what needed to be done, and doing it. That system |
| 31 |
has been running perfectly fine for many years. |
