I recently upgraded my (Arch Linux) Incus server, which took incus from 6.1 to 6.5, and also upgraded the system itself from a months-old version[1].
So, not sure if it is Incus changes, or recent Arch changes, but now my user, who is a member of incus-admin group and could start/stop instances before this update, no longer can. (Log is below.)
What can I do to remedy this? The root user gets the same error.

[1]: The reason I went months without updating this server is because I had been using the zfs-linux-lts package, and had been waiting to see if it would be updated, but it seems no longer maintained, so I switched to zfs-dkms. Then I could finally update Arch itself.
