This warning was meant for the case where /dev/kvm is inaccessible and the user must add themselves to a special group. However we didn't take into account whether /dev/kvm was openable in this test. If it's openable, no point issuing the warning. Move the is_openable ("/dev/kvm") test earlier, and don't issue the warning if that was successful. --- src/launch-direct.c | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/launch-direct.c b/src/launch-direct.c index 3bae254..3a8f2b2 100644 --- a/src/launch-direct.c +++ b/src/launch-direct.c @@ -289,11 +289,19 @@ launch_direct (guestfs_h *g, void *datav, const char *arg) return -1; } + /* Try to guess if KVM is available.
