I try this: $ virsh -c qemu:///system But it then I get a prompt: ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.libvirt.unix.manage ============= System policy prevents management of local virtualized systems Authenticating as: sudo_user_not_disclosed Password: Password: polikit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure Our allowed groups in the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.libvirt.conf are no sudo users (this can change, but not as of now). It is a bit strange that the get the password prompt for a local sudo user we have in place for as systems have no working sssd connection to the idm realm (break glass user) My user can use the system bus in cockpit without a password. The dbus policy looks like this: <policy group="groupname"> < allow send_destination="org.libvirt"/> </policy> <policy group="other_groupname"> < allow send_destination="org.libvirt"/> </policy>
