[arch-general] qemu-vm : access to KVM kernel denied

[arnaud gaboury]

I found my entries about this topic, but no clear answer.

As user, I want to install a VM with virt-install.
$ virt-install  --connect qemu:///system  --LONG list of options

Error : could not access KVM kernel module: permission denied. Running
the above command as root returns the same.

My configuration:
martinus at gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % uname -r
3.16.1-1-ARCH
martinus at gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % ls -al /dev/kvm
crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 Aug 17 11:05 /dev/kvm
martinus at gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % groups martinus
adm wheel video audio kalu libvirt qemu kvm martinus

No files in  /etc/polkit.1/rules.d
No files in /etc/udev/rules.d , so /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules apply.

/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf  is set to qemu:qemu.
qemu user from /etc/passwd : qemu:x:135:135:qemu:/:/usr/bin/nologin
qemu group from /etc/group : qemu:x:135:martinus


I have no idea what to do. Thank you for suggestion as I already spent
lot of time with various "suspicious" tricks to solve this issue.
