I'm trying to set up a VM using Virt-Manager on my Linux host, but I'm running into a frustrating issue. When I select a Linux ISO for installation, Virt-Manager seems to change the ownership of the ISO file, resulting in an "Access Denied" error. I noticed that in the CDROM management section, the 'Readonly' option is checked and can't be modified. I've tried editing the XML configuration, but it hasn't resolved the issue. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem and how I can fix it?

It sounds like you might need to check the permissions on the ISO file. If you copied it as root, qemu could be running as a different user (like 'libvirt'). Try running the command `cat /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf | grep user` to see which user it is. The user listed there needs access to your ISO file. Also, ensure that the correct ownership is set on the ISO.
Have you checked the link I shared earlier about similar issues? I remember having a similar headache with permissions in Virt-Manager, and adding myself to the appropriate group made all the difference. Additionally, the `libvirt-qemu` has to have the right executable permissions, not just the folder!
Hmm, can you clarify what's going on with the 'CDROM management section'? Like, what exactly are you experiencing there? Just trying to wrap my head around the setup.
