There are currently multiple bugs that deal with virt-manager/virt- viewer not being able to connect to a VNC console of a Libvirt/KVM domain, such as #837275, #995320 and this one.
The problem remains, however. On a Precise server (12.04.1) where /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf has set vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0" vnc_tls = 0 no VNC connection is possible with neither virt-manager, nor virt-viewer from a remote client. Virt-manager just displays the dreaded "Error: viewer connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected!" and virt-viewer says "Unable to connect to the graphic server 0:5916" when called like this: virt-viewer -c qemu+tcp://kvmhost04/system domain01.example.com Libvirt is configured to allow unencrypted TCP connections (because of bug #1001798) so regular virt-manager interaction works, just not the VNC console. This must be a virt-manager, Libvirt or QEMU issue, because using a VNC viewer like xtightvncviewer to connect to the domain's VNC port works fine: xtightvncviewer kvmhost04:5916 So what can we do? I see no interesting log entries anywhere that would begin to explain what is going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989452 Title: oneiric's virt-viewer can't connect to console of precise's virtual machines To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/989452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
