Virt-manager version is 0.5.4 binary RPM from the Fedora repo. The server was Fedora 9 but I installed CentOS 5.2 on it today and it's using the Xen kernel now and having the same trouble. Again, locally, virt-manager works fantastically, but when I try to connect remotely it gives me trouble. I don't know how it could possibly matter, but I'm connecting back to another location using vpnc and then opening virt-manager, so I've got maybe 150ms latency to the libvirtd host. I've been launching virt-manager from Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager. Also I've launched it a few times with something similar to: $virt-manager -c xen+ssh://10.2.30.12/system. Now I've also tried: $virt-manager --no-fork -c xen+ssh://10.2.30.12/system (no password prompt by the way). It seems to be logging in because, like I said, if I stop libvirtd, I get a list of the available guests on the libvirtd server. And actually once I connect if I wait 15 or 20 minutes it will return a list. It will just freeze up intermittently and it's never responsive to input. If I try to click on a guest to select it, it will take 2 or 3 minutes before the selection takes effect and the item is highlighted. _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
