Can't connect to QEMU/KVM though Virtual Machine Manager

English Virtualization

So I wanted to run a couple of VMs using the built-in tools with OpenSUSE, so I installed KVM through YaST, and tried to run Virtual Machine Manager.

Unfortunately, it gives me this error when it tries to connect to QEMU:

Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system.

error from service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type=“method_call”, sender=":1.238" (uid=0 pid=23755 comm="/usr/sbin/libvirtd --timeout 120 “) interface=“org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority” member=“CheckAuthorization” error name=”(unset)" requested_reply=“0” destination=“org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1” (bus)

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py”, line 924, in _do_open

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

I’m not entirely sure how to delete a thread, but this issue got resolved. I had system files that had updated but I hadn’t restarted in a while.

Hello, welcome to the openSUSE forums.

No need to delete. We can all see it is solved.

But I have some information for next time you come here and want to post computer text (I assume you saw the smileys in your post):

There is an important, but not easy to find feature on the forums.

Please in the future use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.

An example is here: Using CODE tags Around your paste.
