Description of problem: virt-manager seems unable to connect to the localhost qemu system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.5.4-4.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch virt-manager 2. double click on localhost qemu system 3. Actual results: Status changes to "connecting" and stays like that for a while, then the window stops redrawing. Expected results: A new window with the VMs listed for localhost. Additional info: Attaching strace after the window stops redrawing shows: # strace -f -p 3031 Process 3052 attached with 2 threads - interrupt to quit [pid 3052] futex(0x214a530, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...> [pid 3031] futex(0x2502b10, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL This was working fine with F9 stable updates, but broke when I updated to rawhide. virsh based operation still seems to work. Note also that I'm doing this over VNC.
