Description of problem: Add a new connection to remote Xen hypervisor in virt-manager Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager.noarch 0.8.7-6.fc15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add new connection to a remote Xen hypervisor using ssh 2. Try to connect to it Actual results: "Unable to open a connection to the libvirt mamangement daemon Libvirt URI is: xen+ssh://user.org/" cannot recv data: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Host key verification failed. : Connexion ré-initialisée par le correspondant Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1055, in _try_open None], flags) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 107, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: cannot recv data: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Host key verification failed. : Connexion ré-initialisée par le correspondant Expected results: Additional info: "ls /usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass" return no such file or directory
"/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass" is provided by openssh-askpass package, which is not a dependency of virt-manager. Install this package solve the problem
Thanks for the report. We intentionally don't depend on this package, since it isn't strictly required to use virt-manager. Just for some users who use remote ssh and no keys. So this is NOTABUG.
