sorry ... wrong syntax, I corrected it now:

Quote:

semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t "KVM(/.*)?" && restorecon -R -v KVM

Code:

[root@localhost smitty]# semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t KVM\(*\)? && restorecon -R -v KVM
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:  line 6 has invalid regex KVM(*)?:  Invalid preceding regular expression

Here is the output I get from your command, I will install the troubleshooter as described and provide you any output I get. Thank you

still after your correction..

Code:

[root@localhost smitty]# semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t "KVM(/.*)?" && restorecon -R -v KVM
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:  line 6 has invalid regex KVM(*)?:  Invalid preceding regular expression

after setting up the troubleshooter, this is the output once i try a new VM.

Code:

Aug 17 19:23:27 localhost kernel: device vnet0 entered promiscuous mode
Aug 17 19:23:27 localhost kernel: virbr0: topology change detected, propagating
Aug 17 19:23:27 localhost kernel: virbr0: port 2(vnet0) entering forwarding state

Google is my friend, I figured it out. I did the following...

Code:

[root@localhost smitty]# chmod 777 /home/smitty
[root@localhost smitty]# chmod 777 /var/lib/libvirt/

Thank you all for your help and time!

I only hope to return the favor, as I gain more knowledge.

You should also provide this feedback to Michael Jang and/or his publisher. It might well be something that should be incorporated into a future edition.

I found it interesting how the OP had problems with the config...I followed Jang's steps he outlined in the book with no issue.
