Severity: important

When I run virt-install to build a KVM image using either command-line
options or the dialog interface, it fails when attempting to load the
block device, which in this case is a cryptsetup partition sitting on LVM:
Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:20:53 ERROR    virConnectListDefinedDomains() failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 497, in <module>

  File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 114, in get_disks
    get_disk(disk, size, sparse, guest, hvm, conn)
  File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 82, in get_disk
    if d.is_conflict_disk(conn) is True:
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/virtinst/Guest.py", line
204, in is_conflict_disk
    names = conn.listDefinedDomains()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1109, in
listDefinedDomains
    if ret is None: raise libvirtError
('virConnectListDefinedDomains() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: virConnectListDefinedDomains() failed

virt-manager's "Add" dialog has an analogous error; in that case, when
I reach the stage of choosing a storage device, the "Forward" button
simply stops working.
