[Bug 405388] [NEW] virt-manager cannot create image file

[Tux]

Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 3 with X64 architecture on a Acer Aspire 5051AWXMi.
Kernel version:
Linux haasje 2.6.31-4-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 18:05:56 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)

When I want to create a new virtual machine from the virt-manager I get the following error:
Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> Couldn't create storage volume 'Rawhide.img': 'cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/Rawhide.img': Permission denied'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1485, in do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 541, in start_install
    return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 628, in _do_install
    self._create_devices(meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 601, in _create_devices
    disk.setup(progresscb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/VirtualDisk.py", line 611, in setup
    self._set_vol_object(self.vol_install.install(meter=progresscb),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/Storage.py", line 905, in install
    (self.name, str(e)))
RuntimeError: Couldn't create storage volume 'Rawhide.img': 'cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/Rawhide.img': Permission denied'
'

I have reinstalled kvm with dependencies, but that did not lead to a
good result.
