Solved Virt-Manager on Ubuntu 20.04 Getting Cannot Access Storage File Permission Denied
-
I have existing VMs that worked under Ubuntu 19.04. I did a fresh install of 20.04 and now get this error...
Unable to complete install: 'Cannot access storage file '/path/to/vms' (as uid:64055, gid:108): Permission denied'
I can't find any way around it. Not making it 777, not running virt-manager as root, nothing. It just always gives that error. Ideas?

Went through EVERY suggesting on permissions, but in the end, the only thing that worked at all was moving it to run as root. Works now.

To do that....
Edit...
sudo vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.confAnd set...
user = "root" group = "root"And then...
sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
