Hello Christian, I understand how the system works, and this is why I noticed this issue, in theory this should not happen because it should be keepalive+1 (so 6) but it does.
Here is a quick reply to your questions: I have enabled keepalive_timeout in libvirtd.conf and I have the following settings there: keepalive_interval = 5 keepalive_count = 0 (you also need to enable this) 1. I don't fully get "trying to use virsh console, virsh edit you will get the following". I connect to a guest or try to edit it using virsh in the following way: virsh edit guest1 (using nano) After 5 seconds, nano gets killed (SIGTERM) and I get that message in /var/log/syslog Also I get this in the terminal: error: Disconnected from qemu:///system due to I/O error 2.

Yes, I changed it to 6 and after that it works. Note that if I use virsh -k 4 (it will send keepalives every 4 seconds) it works. This is why I thought it's a sync issue. Maybe it could happen just on my machine because there is some delay which I doubt, but I was also considering that these limits are extremely close, and I do not see the point for them to be the same, one second extra for closing the connection will not make such a difference, but it will decrease the changes of this happening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730051 Title: keepalive_timeout in libvirtd.conf is causing virsh to disconnect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1730051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
