Hi Cole, Host - Debian 5.0 KVM Libvert This Virtual Machine has been running sometimes. Before, on Gnome desktop Applications - Sytem Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager starts; Autheticate System Policy prevents management of local virtualized systems ..... After entering root password -> Authenticate starts "Virtual Machine Manager" For unknown cause/incident ; On Gnome desktop; Applications - Sytem Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager popup following error > popup following error; > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 346, in <module> > main() > File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 248, in main > setup_logging() > File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 124, in setup_logging > os.mkdir(vm_dir) > OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/home/satimis/.virt-manager' > - end - Then I ran "apt-get remove libvert" to remove it. And reinstalled it later. However Applications - System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager starts "Virtual Machine Manager" without asking for root password to authenticate $ ls -al /home/satimis/ | grep virt-manager drwxr-xr-x 2 satimis satimis 4096 2009-05-31 06:11 .virt-manager If I change its owner to "root root" it popup above warning. I can't start "Virtual Machine Manager". How can I restore its original state requesting root password for authentication before starting "Virtual Machine Manager"? TIA B.R.
