Hi

I had the very same issue in Fedora 18 and solved like following:

chown 644 /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice/server-key.pem

start your VM , it will fail, so take a look at

/var/log/libvirt/qemu/yourmachinaname.log

It will say something like "cannot raed image "xxx followed by a ling path

chmod 666 the_long_path

start your vm: it will run

libvirt changed something in permissions

Not wonderful to have to make 666 the images, but it works

Best regards
