Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.4-7
Severity: normal
To set up a tunnel and access remote VNC displays, virt-manager does a:
ssh -l $USERNAME $HOST 'nc -q 2>&1 | grep -q "requires an argument";if [
$? -eq 0 ] ; then CMD="nc -q 0 127.0.0.1 5902";else CMD="nc
127.0.0.1 5902";fi;$CMD;'
however, this doesn't work if your shell on the remote host is zsh, as
zsh doesn't expand $CMD. Using «eval $CMD» works, or you can do sh -c
"$CMD", but just plain $CMD doesn't work.
Steps to reproduce should be trivial, but for completeness:
on a remote host with libvirt running and an existing VM, change the
shell of the user you are logging in with to zsh. Try to connect using
virt-manager. Observe that you get the error message:
zsh:1: command not found: nc -q 0 127.0.0.1 5902
(the port number might be different, of course)
