[Libguestfs] [PATCH] launch: show hint to resolve authentication failure from libvirt
Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf(a)aepfle.de>
---
Switching from attach-method "appliance" to "libvirt" has surprising
side effects, so show a hint how to resolve the "authentication failed"
error from libvirt.
Patch is not compile tested.
