[Bug 1393842] [NEW] libvirt does not grant qemu-guest-agent channel perms

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Kafui Odzangba Dake (odzangba):

=======================================
1. Impact: cannot create a default RHEL7 vm in virt-manager
2. fix: allow use of qemu-guest-agent channel
3. test case: see in description below.  Create a VM in virt-manager specifying
   Linux os and RHEL7.
4. Regression potential: there should be none.  We are only adding an
   apparmor permission for unix sockets which libvirt creates when needed
   for kvm vms.
=======================================

Create a new VM, choose Linux for OS type and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
(or later) for Version. Proceed through the wizard leaving all other
options unchanged. On clicking Finish, the following error is displayed:
