Re: Alternative(s) to VirtualBox



This is becoming a monologue, but I'm hoping someone doing a search will
find the info useful.

Searching on this error found a couple of bug reports for Red Hat/Fedora:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2012-May/msg00043.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809264

The second has the solution:
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=""

So I can now run virt-manager as root. Which I shouldn't, but I think the
first contains the solution, which is permissions in the libvirt directory.

Wow, that took a lot of fiddling.
