Bug 671802 – app-emulation/libvirt non-root virsh is broken with sys-auth/polkit-0.115

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description aporilel 2018-11-24 11:23:35 UTC]

$ LC_ALL=C virsh list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: ошибка службы: CheckAuthorization: Failed to open file “/proc/4210/status”: No such file or directory

My polkit rule in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/:

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

I cannot reproduce, the following rule works fine for me:

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

Please reopen if the problem persists and is not a configuration problem.
