Troubleshooting


libvirt: Polkit error


To prevent libvirt from asking root password:


Add libvirt group (It may be present by default)
sudo groupadd libvirt



Add not root user as member
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt <username>



Add Polkit rule for libvirt:
vim /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/80-libvirt.rules

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage"
&& subject.local
&& subject.active
&& subject.isInGroup("libvirt")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
