Package: libvirt0
Version: 1.2.9-9+devuan1.2
Severity: normal

im not sure which packages to report on

this happens when i import any VM from within virt-manager

------------------

anybody have advice about getting virt-manager working ?

what are required perms for qcows ?

always get similar errors on any debian distro except subgraph which
always works without changing perms, currently 600 root:root

i have apparmor installed

-----------------------

The emulator may not have search permissions for the path
'/media/user/.........win10ent64.qcow2'.

Errors were encountered changing permissions for the following directories:

/media/user : [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/media/user'
