virt-manager is trying to incorrectly connect to a VM with a non-localhost listen= address. This isn't that common but it is a regression from older versions (probably 6.0 or 6.1) Upstream fixes: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=422c0216d806f7c71e7197279c032b7f58a42db3 http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=3b17e049c9929a8879c00743874f2d7a9c98ac64
Fixed in virt-manager-0.9.0-13.el6
According to the command 10 and 11, changed the status to VERIFIED.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, virt-manager was not correctly using the graphics listen address attribute in the VM configuration, and would always try to connect to the guest with an SSH tunnel. This could break graphical console connections if listen= was set to an explicit interface address. virt-manager now properly connects to these addresses.
