There's been a few bugs about an expected error from polkit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873799https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872166
The error is:
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available.
The error means that polkit needs a password, but there is no polkit
agent registered in your session. Polkit agents are the bit of UI that
pop up and actually ask for your password.
Preface the error with the string 'polkit:' so folks can hopefully
make more sense of it.
As of 1a50ba2cb0 qemu capabilities probing
takes longer since we timeout waiting for the monitor socket. When
probing qemu for different architectures this can add up so the daemon
auto shutdown timeout is reached and the client doesn't have a chance
to connect. To avoid that inhibit daemon shutdown during driver
initialization (which includes capabilities probing).
This fixes

The initscript and upstart services depend on dbus starting
before libvirtd. When we first wrote the systemd script, we
tried to do the same, but we depended on dbus.target (which
does not exist) in comparison to network.target (which does
exist), so we removed that in commit 4c7973e. But we still
need dbus up and running first, especially now that we want
to support shutdown inhibition via dbus (whereas we originally
needed dbus only for firewall control).
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.target.html
explains how a target (such as network.target) is just a collection
of common services bundled together, and why we want network.target
but dbus.service.
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in (Unit): Depend on dbus starting
first.
When the session dies or when the system is going to be shut down
we issue a virStateStop() call to instruct drivers to prepare to
be stopped. This will remove any previously acquire inhibitions.

Currently to deal with auto-shutdown libvirtd must periodically
poll all stateful drivers. Thus sucks because it requires
acquiring both the driver lock and locks on every single virtual
machine. Instead pass in a "inhibit" callback to virStateInitialize
which drivers can invoke whenever they want to inhibit shutdown
due to existance of active VMs.

This will simplify the refactoring of the ESX storage driver to support
a VMFS and an iSCSI backend.
One of the tasks the storage driver needs to do is to decide which backend
driver needs to be invoked for a given request. This approach extends
virStoragePool and virStorageVol to store extra parameters:
1. privateData: stores pointer to respective backend storage driver.
2. privateDataFreeFunc: stores cleanup function pointer.
virGetStoragePool and virGetStorageVol are modfied to accept these extra
parameters as user params. virStoragePoolDispose and virStorageVolDispose
checks for cleanup operation if available.
The private data pointer allows the ESX storage driver to store a pointer
to the used backend with each storage pool and volume. This avoids the need
to detect the correct backend in each storage driver function call.
The libvirt coding standard is to use 'function(...args...)'
instead of 'function (...args...)'. A non-trivial number of
places did not follow this rule and are fixed in this patch.

It turns out that calling virNodeGetCPUMap(conn, NULL, NULL, 0)
is both useful, and with Viktor's patches, common enough to
optimize. Since this interface hasn't been released yet, we
can change the RPC call.
A bit more background on the optimization - learning the cpu count
is a single file read (/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible), but
learning the number of online cpus can possibly trigger a file
read per cpu, depending on the age of the kernel, and all wasted
if the caller passed NULL for both arguments.

This commit changes the behavior of LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 libvirtd:

Automatically enable systemd journal logging
Probe to see if the systemd journal is accessible, and if
so enable logging to the journal by default, rather than
stderr (current default under systemd).
Previously 'LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd' would show all debug
output to stderr, now it send debug output to the journal.
Only use the journal by default if running in daemon mode, or
if stdin is _not_ a tty. This should make libvirtd launched from
systemd use the journal, but preserve the old behavior in most
situations.
- Defined the wire protocol format for virNodeGetCPUMap and its
arguments
- Implemented remote method invocation (remoteNodeGetCPUMap)
- Implemented method dispatcher (remoteDispatchNodeGetCPUMap)

On F17 at least, every time libvirtd starts we get this in syslog:
libvirtd: Could not find keytab file: /etc/libvirt/krb5.tab: No such file or directory
This comes from cyrus-sasl, and happens regardless of whether the
gssapi plugin is requested, which is what actually uses
/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab.
While cyrus-sasl shouldn't complain, we can easily make it shut up by
commenting out the keytab value by default.
Also update the keytab comment to the more modern one from qemu's
sasl config file.
Add two new APIs virNetServerClientNewPostExecRestart and
virNetServerClientPreExecRestart which allow a virNetServerClientPtr
object to be created from a JSON object and saved to a
JSON object, for the purpose of re-exec'ing a process.

with the client

This patch adds support for SUSPEND_DISK event; both lifecycle and
separated. The support is added for QEMU, machines are changed to
PMSUSPENDED, but as QEMU sends SHUTDOWN afterwards, the state changes
to shut-off. This and much more needs to be done in order for libvirt
to work with transient devices, wake-ups etc. This patch is not
aiming for that functionality.

Recent work to improve support for loadable driver modules introduced
a regression in the xen driver. The legacy xen driver is now a
stateful, libvirtd driver but was not being registered when building
without driver modules.
A slight behavior change was also noted in the xen drivers when
built as driver modules. Previously, explicitly specifying a
connection URI was not necessary, but now
Compiled against library: libvirt 0.10.0
Using library: libvirt 0.10.0
Using API: QEMU 0.10.0
error: failed to get the hypervisor version
error: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64
The xen drivers need to be registered before the qemu driver since
the qemu driver will return success with a null connection URI.
This ordering is safe since the xen drivers will decline when not
running the xen kernel.

When running libvirtd from a build directory, libvirtd would load lock
drivers from system directory unless explicitly overridden by setting
LIBVIRT_LOCK_MANAGER_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable. Since we already
autodetect driver directory if libvirt is build with driver modules, we
can use the same trick to automagically set lock driver directory.

Updated the paths in the man page to reflect what the code in libvirtd
does. In addition broke out the FILES section into two subsections for
files used when run as root and files used when run as non-root.
Provided information about the defaults that libvirtd uses when running
as non-root and when XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are not set in
the environment.
