Description Marko D 2011-03-28 05:06:48 UTC 
When libvirtd is set to use PolicyKit to authenticate, virt-manager 0.8.6 is not showing authentication dialog after upgrading polkit-gnome to polkit-gnome-0.101-r1 and can not connect to localhost libvirt (authentication failed). Before this upgrade the authentication dialog was presented on virt-manager launch

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Marko D 2011-03-28 05:10:03 UTC 
Virt-manager output (virt-manager --debug):

2011-03-28 01:07:11,476 (error:66): dialog message: Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
 : authentication failed

libvirtError: authentication failed


syslog error:

Comment 2 Marko D 2011-03-28 12:05:25 UTC 
fixed after latest update (virt-manager 0.8.7 and libvirt 0.9.0_rc1)
