libvirt in Debian requires the correct 'nc' implementation. So if you're able to connect over SSH with libvirt, then virt-manager should not have any trouble with 'nc' itself. There shouldn't be any need to patch virt-manager - just install the correct 'nc' which is already available in Debian Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
