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, -T

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
This is the only one you actually spelled correctly. But you're supposed to be adding your user, not root to the group.
# grep -i libvert /etc/group libvert:x:965:
What am I missing? Is it time for "vi"?
Try doing that again with the correct group name.
That fix it. Thank you!
