[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#708209: virt-manager: unable to connect viewer

[Dmitry Smirnov]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.9.5-1
Severity: serious

When I'm trying to open console to running VM I get the following
error:

    Error: viewer connection to hypervisor host got refused or
    disconnected!

Here is the output from `virt-manager --debug`:

    /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/baseclass.py:240: GtkWarning: Unknown property: GtkTable.halign
      util.sanitize_gtkbuilder(self.uifile))

    2013-05-14 16:37:07,129 (console:412): VNC connection to 127.0.0.1:5900
    2013-05-14 16:37:07,267 (console:1001): Viewer disconnected

Downgrading virt-manager to version 0.9.1-4 (from testing) fixes the
regression. Here is the normal (working) output of `virt-manager
--debug` (version 0.9.1-4):

    2013-05-14 16:35:38,607 (details:535): Showing VM details: <vmmDomain object at 0x39693c0 (virtManager+domain+vmmDomain at 0x399d720)>
    2013-05-14 16:35:38,850 (engine:471): window counter incremented to 2
    2013-05-14 16:35:38,854 (console:1075): Starting connect process for proto=vnc trans=tcp connhost=debmain.local connuser= connport=None gaddr=127.0.0.1 gport=5900 gsocket=None
    2013-05-14 16:35:39,252 (console:986): Viewer connected

I'm setting severity to "serious" to prevent propagation to "testing".

Thanks.

Cheers,
 Dmitry Smirnov
