If python-libguestfs is installed, virt-manager will use it in the background to determine guest OS and a few other interesting bits of info. Recently libguestfs grew the ability to do its magic using libvirt rather than a manually launched qemu instance. What you are probably seeing is those transient libguestfs appliances popping in and out of existence. However I didn't think libguestfs was using libvirt by default on F18, and I didn't think it was connecting qemu:///system, so I'm not entirely sure what's happening. Are you using qemu:///session with virt-manager, or just the default libvirt connection? Rich, any thoughts? - Cole _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
