Public bug reported:
(sorry for double-reporting this bug, but there was a data privacy issue
with the first reported, therefore it was closed. The bug itself is
still valid, though)
As of virt-manager included in Ubuntu 11.10, the dependency to "ssh-askpass" is
obviously missing. On an connection attempt to a virtual host via ssh I get the
following (misleading) error message:
-
Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.
Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://user@host/system
Verify that:
- The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
- The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
- You are member of the 'libvirtd' group

Installing libvirt-bin does not help of course, but installing "ssh-askpass"
does.
