Here is a workaround for this. I have seen this problem in both virt- manager 0.6.1 (Jaunty) and self compiled 0.7:
Virt manager 0.6.1: File -> Add Connection -> quemu+ssh Can't connect, receive this error: Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu+ssh://r...@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/system': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer None Virt manager 0.7.0: File -> Add connection -> quemu+ssh Can't connect, receive this error: Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu+ssh://r...@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/system': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer None Maybe you need to install ssh-askpass in order to authenticate. Workaround: Create and use key authentication instead of password: ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" ssh-copy-id -i /home/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub r...@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Adding and connecting with virt-manager then works. -- virt-manager refuses to connect "<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> cannot recv data:" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
