Add permissions tip

[buckaroogeek]

Add a user permission tip for libvirt provisioning. Unprivileged user qemu needs access to user's home directory and the storage directory for the image. chmod a+x can be used as one option. Thanks to Timothée Ravier for pointing this out.

We cannot recommend these steps for security reasons.

But anyway if you're running unprivileged, isn't libvirt and qemu running under your user?

Closing this, but we can keep talking here to debug your issue!

This happens when as an unprivileged user, you create a VM using the system libvirtd pointing to a backing store file in you home directory.

You should either:

• Move the backing file to a system location
• Use the session libvirtd instance
• Open up permissions as needed for the qemu user to access you files.
