Hello and thanks for reporting a bug.
You shouldn't need to manually chown /dev/kvm. On a fresh Ubuntu Jammy
install, I see:
# ls -la /dev/kvm
crw-rw---- 1 root kvm 10, 232 Mar 7 19:41 /dev/kvm
After installing qemu and virt-manager, I still see the proper
permissions/ownership, as expected. Therefore, it looks to me like this
could be a local configuration issue. Could you please provide more
details about what actions you performed before seeing the error? Also,
note that if you're trying to execute qemu using a regular user then you
will need to add this user to the kvm group.
Marking the bug as Incomplete for now until we get more details about
it.
Thanks.
** Changed in: virt-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
