title: virt-install error
body: <p>I have setup <code>kvm</code>, <code>libvirt</code> on one of Dell poweredge1000m blades. I am using the following syntax for installing a virtual machine from an existing image (executing as root).</p>
  
  <pre><code>virt-install --name=vm_test --ram=1024 --arch=i686 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --import --disk path=/root/shared.qcow2,bus=virtio,format=qcow2 --graphics vnc,port=5901,listen=0.0.0.0,password=newone --noautoconsole --description --autostart
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting the following error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Starting install...
  ERROR    internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1
  open /dev/kvm: Permission denied
  failed to initialize KVM: Operation not permitted
  
  Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
  If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
    virsh --connect qemu:///system start vm_test
  otherwise, please restart your installation.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have used exactly the same command with one of other desktop hosts and it works there. I can install a VM from <code>virt-manager</code> using an ISO image with <code>virt-manager</code> storing the disk image at default location.</p>
  
  <p>It seems like a file permissions error to me as it is not working with <code>/vms</code> directory but is working with some other <code>/home/vm</code> directory.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for help in advance</p>
