I'm having a bit of trouble connecting to my virtual machine host, which is an Ubuntu server running KVM/Libvirt. I can connect to the server using an Ubuntu client and I can connect via virsh on a Fedora 16 client. Unfortunately, connecting via virt-manager fails with the error: "unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon".

I attempted to connect with virt-manager on an OpenSuse box last night and experienced the same issue. It seems to me that this is more of a server-side issue than client-side. Is there a chance that Ubuntu (or Debian) doing something strange with the Libvirt packages? I plan to take a network trace with Wireshark tonight if I don't get wrapped up in other things. – bshacklett Sep 30 '11 at 13:36
