Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 0.11.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important

I cannot start a newly created VM using a vmdk image, probably by a permission 
problem.

This is the error when I try to start the machine:

Error starting domain: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not 
open disk image /media/mac/Users/scorp/Debian-Home/kvm/antani-web.vmdk

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 589, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1208, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create

libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open disk 
image /media/mac/Users/scorp/Debian-Home/kvm/antani-web.vmdk

Permissions are being resetted by kvm/libvirt/virt-manager?
