Bug Description
With latest devstack on Fedora 18, nova-compute was failing to start up and giving this error:
libvirtError: authentication failed: Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available.
In order to configure PolicyKit to allow nova-compute running as 'markmc' to connect to libvirtd, I had to do add this file to /etc/polkit-
polkit.
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
