Description:
virt-manager is unable to connect to my remote KVM hosts anymore. It asks for a password but won't list the VMs as it usally does.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libvirt 1.0.2-2
virt-manager 0.9.4-4

* config and/or log files etc.
http://pastebin.com/ddvpbA1e

Steps to reproduce:
- Start virt-manager (--debug)
- Connect to remote host running KVM (in my case a debian stable machine with qemu-kvm
0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10)
- See debug log
This task depends upon

do you use the same libvirt versions on all machines?

I am able to connect remote libvirt host successfully.
Comment by Jonas Heinrich (onny) - Monday, 04 February 2013, 16:19 GMT
The libvirt version of the remote host is 0.8.3-5+squeeze2

I think it is probably the problem. Is it possible to upgrade libvirt on remote host?

Same problem.

Failed to list guests from my remote Ubuntu-12.04 KVM Host.

But another host running CentOS6 works fine with it. Is it a upstream compatible problem?

libvirt versions:

CentOS6: libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.5.x86_64 [OK]
Ubuntu1204: libvirt0 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.5 [FAIL]

There's no backport for ubuntu1204 yet.

And it amazed me that it in CentOS is actually newer than in a recent UbuntuLTS.

libvirt0 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.7

Neither working

debian squeeze with backports, libvirt0 0.9.12-6~bpo60+1 - fail

[2012-08-23 10:29] upgraded virtinst (0.600.2-1 -> 0.600.3-1)
[2012-11-28 11:55] upgraded virt-manager (0.9.4-3 -> 0.9.4-4)
[2013-02-04 09:07] upgraded libvirt (1.0.1-2 -> 1.0.2-2)

virt-manager works fine with Ubuntu previously, the only package changed in this days is libvirt, so it's obvious that the bug is from libvirt.

I downloaded libvirt-1.0.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz from Arch Rollback Machine (http://arm.konnichi.com/community/os/x86_64/libvirt-1.0.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz ) and downgraded, now everything works just as good as before.

This bug report might be related https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909734

Could we backport these two patches until the next release?

Only one patch was needed, I will attach PKGBUILD and patch here.
   PKGBUILD (3.5 KiB)
   libvirt1.patch (3.1 KiB)

Thank you christof. Alternatively you can also install libvirt-git from the AUR which also fixes this problem.

With libvirt 1.0.2-3, I still find similar error while connect to a CentOS6 KVM host, this time the error wasn't yielded on listing virtual machines, but on opening a machine windows, same report as "'module' object has no attribute 'VIR_ERR_ERROR'"
