Everytime I try to connect to a remote virt-manager, I get an error. I followed the intructions from here:

All services are restarted but i still get this error from virt-manager.log:

Additional info:
Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2008-01-14 21:29:19 UTC 
Do you have the 'nc' RPM installed on the server, and is the 'libvirtd' service
running ?
Comment 2 Espen Stefansen 2008-01-14 23:25:20 UTC 
Yep. nc-1.84-13.fc8 is installed at both computers and libvirtd is running.
Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2008-01-14 23:33:30 UTC 
From a 'gnome-terminal' window, you able to run

 ssh root.0.8

And get a login shell, without being prompted for any kind of
password/passphrase/etc ?

What does running 'virsh --connect qemu+ssh://root.0.8/system' show ?
Comment 4 Espen Stefansen 2008-01-14 23:56:04 UTC 
I can connect without being asked for any password.

When i run the virsh-command, i get:
libvir: Remote error : Can't allocate memory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
Comment 5 Daniel Berrangé 2008-01-15 00:03:10 UTC 
That is bizarre. Please run the following

 strace -s 10000 -f -o virsh.txt virsh --connect qemu+ssh://root.0.8/system

And attach the resulting 'virsh.txt' trace file.

Comment 8 Daniel Berrangé 2008-01-15 00:49:53 UTC 
Please try these test libvirt RPMs, on the client host where you run
virsh/virt-manager. Either x86_64:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=348812

Or i686:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=348813

They ought to fix the problem you see.
Comment 9 Espen Stefansen 2008-01-15 01:02:48 UTC 
You da man! :)

Those rpm's made it work. Thank you very much!
Comment 10 Espen Stefansen 2008-01-16 18:47:19 UTC 
Today the was an update of libvirt in yum (libvirt-0.4.0-3.fc8.i386.rpm) so I 
updated my other computer, which ran libvirtd yesterday. I the tried connecting 
the opposite way (the client yesterday, the server today), but that didn't 
work. I got the same error as yesterday. But when i updated libvirt from the 
koji-links above, everything worked. 

Aren't libvirt-0.4.0-3.fc8.i386.rpm and libvirt-0.4.0-3.fc8.1dan.i386.rpm from 
koji above, supposed to be the same?
Comment 11 Fedora Update System 2008-01-22 15:53:27 UTC 
libvirt-0.4.0-4.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
