[libvirt-users] Failed to probe capabilities on libvirt v5.1.0

[Vladik Romanovsky]

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, I'm facing an issue with libvirt 5.1.0 when probing capabilities.

Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64: internal
error: Failed to start QEMU binary /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 for
probing: qemu-system-x86_64: cannot create PID file: Cannot open pid
file: Permission denied

I see that the qmp directory is being created, however, it belongs to
root instead of qemu:

/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/qmp-U1w6o6:
0 drwx------. 2 root root   6 Apr 11 14:46 qmp-U1w6o6

The user and group are set to "qemu" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

I would appreciate any pointers.
Thank you!

Vladik
