Description of problem: Using libvirt 1.1.2, connecting to vbox:///session URIs fails with the following error: virsh -c vbox:///session 2013-09-18 17:01:53.569+0000: 18446744073709551615: error : virGetUserEnt:698 : Failed to find user record for uid '32671': Success error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Failed to find user record for uid '32671': Success The first line is a log message that comes from libvirtd on stdout or stderr. I don't know where these strange uid numbers are coming from, but this problem is something others have noticed, to wit: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt.user/4925 Also, see Doug Goldstein's comments in response to my question about this bug on libvirt-users: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2013-June/msg00112.html It does appear as if the error message itself was tweaked in this commit: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=4c7d1eab6e0d5fca56a0d7e2c67ee9e71836f111 but there's no indication as to where the uid problem itself is coming from on OS X. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.2 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install libvirt on OS X (brew install libvirt) 2. run libvirtd 3. run virsh -c vbox:///session Actual results: See above Expected results: See above Additional info:
Problem persists as of libvirt 1.1.4.
Sorry this never received a timely response... Tony (or anyone else), is this still relevant with recent libvirt versions? If so please post the latest error message
Since there's no response, closing as DEFERRED. But if anyone is still affected with newer libvirt versions, please re-open and we can triage from there
