Bug Description

<smoser> rbasak, your tool should address the case where the user is not in the sudo group.
<smoser> ie, you should have a sane path for "you do not have libvirt group access"
<rbasak> smoser: you mean a test and a sensible error message, or something more?
<smoser> rbasak, i don think you shoudl do anything more than a sane error message:
<smoser> could not connect to qemu:///system . You need to be lin the libvirt group. sudo adduser $USERNAME libvirtd
<smoser> somethign to that affect
<smoser> also, kind of sucks but then after that you hvae to log out and back in or use 'sg' to get into that group.
