That sounds familiar.
but I wonder why I have to do that?
Because the KVM Virtual Manager is designed such that it can administer
KVM / libvirt / qemu on multiple systems. It's really client-server
infrastructure. You're just needing to point the client at your local
server one time.
Also, before I do anything, it asks me for the root password and
says system policy prevents local management of virtual machines.
Do you know why this is so?
This also seems familiar.
Try re-starting the libvirt / kvm daemons. They may not be aware that
your user is now a member of the proper group. -- Aside: This is why
a reboot is ... convenient, but not required.
This /should/ be taken care of proper group administration for your
normal user.
I ran into this a long time ago when I set up KVM on my last Gentoo
system. I don't remember exactly what I had to do to resolve it. I do
know that it was less than five minutes of searching the web to find the
answer, cussing at what needed to be done, and doing it. That system
has been running perfectly fine for many years.
