Package: libvirt0 Version: 0.9.3-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch
virt-manager is unable to connect to remote hosts using qemu+ssh:// protocol; the error (see below) is rather uninformative, but this isse has already been debugged upstream, see here: [libvirt] remote driver RPC API usage breaks launching ssh askpass https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg01259.html In short, DISPLAY is not passed to ssh which is then unable to spawn askpass to decrypt the private key for the connection. A fix is already available upstream (tested recompiling debian package): http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=e0a21dfef4a6ba9d09386cbedd2322aede0114dc Error log: Cannot recv data: Permission denied, please try again.
