There's been a few bugs about an expected error from polkit: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873799 https://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.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
