Hi All,
Fedora 41
virt-manager-5.0.0-1.fc41.noarch
When I start virt-manager, it wants the password for the user's account that I initially created during the install of FC41.
How do I get it to ask for the root's password instead?
Many thanks,

Hi Alex,
Hmmmm. What group "libvert"?
# grep -i libvert /etc/group
<nothing>
So I manually added the group
# groupadd -r libvert
And now I get
# grep -i libvert /etc/group
libvert:x:965:
But
# usermod -a -G libvirt root
does not add root or any other the other four users I added
to the group
# grep -i libvert /etc/group
libvert:x:965:
What am I missing? Is it time for "vi"?
Yours in frustration,
-T
