[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#650551: virt-manager: cannot connect to any hypervisor (kernel variant 486) - PyError: self.hostinfo = self.vmm.getInfo()

[Marcus Osdoba]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid

Hi,
After bug#649216 has been solved, I still cannot connect to any hypervisor in
the main menu. The kernel variant used is 486. Beyond Squeeze there is no PAE-
less 32bit kernel. So one is forced to use the 486 variant for non-PAE capable
systems.

The error which appears is:
Error polling connection 'lxc:///': An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
Error polling connection 'qemu:///': An error occurred, but the cause is
unknown

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 440, in _tick
    conn.tick()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1410, in tick
    self.hostinfo = self.vmm.getInfo()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 2824, in getInfo
    if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virNodeGetInfo() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
