Description Dead Mozay 2018-01-24 06:56:08 UTC

Basically what i'm trying to do is to redirect connected to my system (host) USB drive to (qemu-kvm) virtual guest machine. From virtual machine viewer menu i select "Virtual Machine" -> " Redirect USB". Immediately i get list of all present USB devices, and the moment i chose one i get pop up window "USB redirection error" with following information:
Could not redirect device name [dev:id] at 3-6: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin//spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper" (No such file or directory) (8)
User is included in all required groups (qemu,kvm,libvirt).

The solution
chmod u+s /usr/bin/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper

/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.spice-spice.lowlevelusbaccess.policy

<allow_any>auth_admin</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>auth_admin</allow_active>

replace with

<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

only then starts forwarding.

Thanks for the report. 
Dig for a while and found sbit is disabled here for a security  reason, and won't be allowed for a while. Update please check #744251. Thanks.
