Description Stef Walter 2012-08-13 12:25:24 UTC
Description of problem:

After a yum upgrade, get the following message when trying to use virt-manager:

Unable to connect to libvirt.

no connection driver available for No connection for URI qemu:///system

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1027, in _open_thread
    self.vmm = self._try_open()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1009, in _try_open
    flags)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: no connection driver available for No connection for URI qemu:///system

It seems that libvirt is not installed? Why isn't libvirt a dependency of virt-manager?

Seems like qemu is not installed or got uninstalled during an upgrade. But after installing it I still get the same error.
