I think this may be fixed by the dbus patch that Dan took care of for bug
436276. Can you see if this is still an issue with virt-manager-0.5.3-3.el5 or
later?

Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-11 09:56:21 UTC

Not seeing this error with:
virt-manager-0.5.3-4.el5

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2008-03-11 15:40:12 UTC

I'll just close this as a DUP then. Thanks!
