    Question KVM Virt Manager not working

    EDIT: Networking works under root. I wanted to run under my account without elevated privileges, but that don't work. So for now I just run KVM with gksu. Looks like my issue is account permissions issue.


    I use Ubuntu 10.04.2. I installed virt manager. I can't create virtual machine.

    I am running in usermode. I do not want nor do I need to run as root. I just want to create virtual machine and use usermode networking. I don't need bridge.

    Error message.
    Unable to complete install: 'internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/2
    qemu: could not open disk image /var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu.img: No such file or directory

    Error message 2.
