Package: virt-manager

Severity: grave

Justification: renders package unusable
I recently reinstalled Debian/Squeeze from scratch (kept my /home
partition though). After reinstalling virt-manager, I found that I
was no longer able to connect to my virtual machine (a Windows XP
raw virtual disk). When I try to connect to qemu, I get the above
error which I was not getting before the new Squeeze install. I
can't find any fix for it via Google (just lots of people
experiencing the problem) and I'm a bit of newbie at virtualization.
Qemu-kvm is able to directly launch my virtual machine and it runs
fine, but after using virt-manager to manage the sessions, I find it
preferrable (better mouse handling, doesn't kill the KDE
screensaver, etc.).
Please see:
http://wiki.debian.org/libvirt#Bugreports.2BAC8-Debugging
for some information on howto debug this.
Cheers,

See attached. As noted, libvirtd is running (as root, process #2445 -
/usr/sbin/libvirtd -d) so I have no idea what the problem is.
