At the moment I need to enter root pw to start virt-manager.

Unless started with "sudo guestfs-browser.
How can I get both to start as my normal user,
I use the below policy kit file to invoke virt-manager as a regular user
----------------
$ cat /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/virt-manager.pkla
[Local virt-manager Permissions]
Identity=unix-user:kashyap
Action=org.libvirt.unix.*
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
----------------
Note: replace 'kashyap' w/ your user name.
And restart libvirt
$ service libvird restart
and if I do will it affect seriel-console captures?
(useful for rawhide\branched)
hm, I'm not sure. but it shouldn't affect I guess. I capture serial console o/p
on the
shell usually via invoking ' # virsh console guestname' (after configuring
serial console)
Hope that helps.
