Description of problem: I have huge problem with virt-manager as it displays errors below [1]. Problem happened after I upgraded in quick succession from F10 to F11 and then to F12. If I do yum update, it says "No Packages marked for Update" - so I'm pretty sure my system is up-to-date F12. My libvirt is running: root 8030 1 0 10:34 ? 00:00:00 libvirtd --daemon However my polkit agent is not running [2]. (not sure if it is a must) Is there any other way how can I get inside my running virtual machine (ssh does not work)? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Package python-virtinst-0.500.1-2.fc12.noarch already installed and latest version Package 2:qemu-kvm-0.11.0-13.fc12.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package virt-manager-0.8.2-3.fc12.noarch already installed and latest version Package virt-viewer-0.2.0-1.fc12.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package libvirt-0.7.1-15.fc12.x86_64 already installed and latest version How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start virt-manager, try to connect to qemu:///system 2. 3. Actual results: Displayed below in [1] Expected results: I shoutl see my virtual machines. Additional info: My virtual machines are working, I can get them start with virsh but not with virt-manager.

I wanted to change severity to urgent, so I reopened this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 589063 ***
