[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#762688: Fails to start if remote connection cannot be made

[martin f krafft]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:1.0.1-1
Severity: normal

I just reinstalled my laptop and when starting virt-manager on my
desktop, it tried to auto-connect to the laptop, but I hadn't yet
set up libvirt yet, or netcat. So I got:

  Unable to connect to libvirt.

  End of file while reading data: nc: unix connect failed: Permission denied: Input/output error

  Verify that the 'libvirtd' daemon is running
  on the remote host.

and virt-manager does not start at all. It should at least start and
give me the option to disable autoconnect!
