Hi virt-manager Developers, Just spend some hours with virt-manager from my Debian GNU/Notebook not being able to connect to two OpenSuSE 11.1 Xen hosts. ###GUI### virt-manager from GUI tells nothing about the real reason: Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon. Libvirt URI is: xen+ssh://r...@foobar/ Verify that: - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen+ssh://r...@foobar/': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> server closed connection None Maybe you need to install ssh-askpass in order to authenticate. ###Shell### virsh # connect xen+ssh://r...@foobar/ bash: nc: command not found error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor error: server closed connection foobar# ln -s /usr/bin/netcat /usr/bin/nc virsh # connect xen+ssh://r...@foobar/ nc: invalid option -- 'U' nc -h for help error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor error: server closed connection Finding http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516482 through friend Google. foobar# zypper install netcat-openbsd virsh # connect xen+ssh://r...@foobar/ virsh # list --all ... After all this was coming down to netcat-openbsd needed on the remote machines. I don't think relying on such a dependency is good practice beneath no specific error at all given when in GUI. For my part I would raise the severity of this bug here.
