Hi all,
Hopefully you can help with the following. After upgrading from libvirt 1.0.1-2 to 1.0.1-4 I have a odd issue.
When starting a VM the following error pops up:
Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied
failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied
No accelerator found!
I already checked the /dev/kvm device to have root:kvm rights. My users are in the group libvirt and kvm. and the kvm_intel module is loaded.
Remedy for now is rollback to the previous version
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libvirt-1.0.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
When I restart the libvirt service all VM's are running again.
//edit, see the comment of wuzzeb for the fix

seeing the same problem.
downgraded for now, don't have time for debugging, vms have to be running.

I had the same problem. Looks like
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 97bd6f292a
added -with-qemu-user=nobody --with-qemu-group=nobody when building, so the default user and group are nobody. The fix is to edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and override the user and group. For now I just put it back to root/root, but I might look at creating a new user...

Thanks Wuzzeb, modifying the qemu.conf file fixed the problem for me too. I am also thinking of making a new user specifically for VM's now. For now it is set to root/root to fixes the issue experienced.

Good bless, that I found this thread. Is this a bug? Should that be mentioned on the WIKI?
