I do this as root, because as non-root user it did not work at all (especially it failed attaching to the networks). So, when I run the command (with sudo), I get the following error in libvirtd.log:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">2014-01-15 07:51:00.423+0000: 16158: warning : qemuDomainObjTaint:1573 : Domain id=5 name='vader' uuid=f5b8c05b-9c7a-3211-49b9-2bd635f7e2aa is tainted: high-privileges<br>2014-01-15 07:51:00.428+0000: 16158: error : virDBusCallMethod:1173 : Launch helper

I have no idea where to look for errors because the message don't really tell me much. I have tried to execute the qemu-kvm command on the command line directly and that worked immediately. So the problem must be in libvirt.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;
