Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.6.1-1 Severity: normal
Hi, On some machines (at least reproduceable on them) when I installed libvirt I get the following error when libvirt gets started: u...@srv-mfm-vm02:~$ grep libvirt /var/log/syslog Mar 22 14:56:31 srv-mfm-vm02 libvirtd: 14:56:31.347: error : Failed to lookup group 'libvirt' u...@srv-mfm-vm02:~$ But that is not the case on all machines. On some of them libvirt immediatley works after installation. But on the others - the group 'libvirt' is there: u...@srv-mfm-vm02:~$ grep libvirt /etc/group libvirt:x:113: Also the directory containing the socket files is correctly owned: u...@srv-mfm-vm02:~$ ls -ld /var/run/libvirt drwxr-xr-x 3 root libvirt 58 2009-03-22 14:40 /var/run/libvirt If I change unix_sock_group in libvirtd.conf for example to "root", libvirtd is willing to start. It also make no difference, if group 'libvirt' has members or not.
