[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#510235: libvirt-bin: virt-manager unable to connect to libvirtd as r/w (full VM management) on a local connection)

[Davis Yokana]

I am getting these msgs when I try to connect to localhost in
virt-manager:

Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///':
<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error failed to connect to xend
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 486, in
_open_thread
    None], flags)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 99, in
openAuth
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: internal error failed to connect to xend

I followed the instructions to connect to sid and upgrade,

aptitude update && aptitude install -t sid kvm virt-manager\
    libvirt-bin libvirt0 virtinst dnsmasq dnsmasq-base

then set ENABLE=0 in /etc/default/dnsmasq. This does not solve this issue. I do not have kvm installed - does virt-manager require it?

These versions are installed:
virt-manager 0.6.0-6
virtinst 0.400.0-7

Sincerely,
