I'm getting a dialogue box message:
Unable to connect to libvirt.
You need to install openssh-askpass or similar to connect to this host.
However, my ssh connection doesn't use a password.
My workstation is running Debian/Wheezy and virt-manager can connect to
VMs on it. Virt-manager also apparently detects the server, which is
running Debian/Squeeze, as it shows up as the only option when I create
a connection to a remote host.
The error dialogue's details box contains the following:
Unable to connect to libvirt.
You need to install openssh-askpass or similar to connect to this host.
Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://garydale@TheLibrarian.local/system

libvirtError: Cannot recv data: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass):

To be clear, I have no trouble connecting to the server using ssh using
the "garydale" account.
Any ideas?
