Package: virt-manager Version: 0.6.0-6 Severity: important
When I create a new guest via Virtual Machine Manager, the initial display is set to VNC with the VNC port automatically allocated. When I now power up the guest and switch to the console tab, I just see a message: Console is not yet active for guest virt-manager.log then contains: [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (manager:427) VM test2 started [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1042) Got timed retry [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1094) Trying console login [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1108) Graphics console configured at vnc://127.0.0.1:-1 [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] WARNING (details:1032) Retrying connection in 500 ms [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1042) Got timed retry [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1094) Trying console login [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1108) Graphics console configured at vnc://127.0.0.1:-1 [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:10 virt-manager 29289] WARNING (details:1032) Retrying connection in 1000 ms [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:11 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1042) Got timed retry [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:11 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1094) Trying console login [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:11 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1108) Graphics console configured at vnc://127.0.0.1:-1 [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:11 virt-manager 29289] WARNING (details:1032) Retrying connection in 2000 ms [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:13 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1042) Got timed retry [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:13 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1094) Trying console login [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:13 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (details:1108) Graphics console configured at vnc://127.0.0.1:-1 [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:13 virt-manager 29289] WARNING (details:1032) Retrying connection in 2000 ms [Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:18:15 virt-manager 29289] DEBUG (engine:543) Shutting down vm 'test2'.

Re-adding back the graphic device with an automatically allocated VNC ports reproduce the problem with the initial graphic device.
