Greetings ... I already spent quite some time to debug this ... See the thread on gentoo-user ml for reference: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/270091 basically I get dropped connections when I try to edit a VM via virt-manager. Tested from my gentoo workstation and a fresh ubuntu installation inside a VM at my office. The server is a new and shiny gentoo box with (gentoo release-numbers): libvirt-1.1.2-r3 qemu-1.5.3 openssh-5.9_p1-r4 ... 64bit, lots of RAM and CPUs .. installed last week ... so no obvious cruft on there. plain ssh sessions work fine for me. I access the server over an IPSEC-VPN terminated on my pfsense-router and on the customers side there is a firewall. This firewall allows full access for my private subnet, TCP/UDP ports 1:65535 ... so there should be no restrictions. Another issue: the server runs with systemd-204-r1 ... maybe important. # systemctl status libvirtd libvirtd.service - Virtualization daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Do 2013-10-03 17:39:37 CEST; 13h ago Main PID: 1242 (libvirtd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/libvirtd.service └─1242 /usr/sbin/libvirtd --listen Okt 03 17:39:38 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: [251B blob data] Okt 03 17:39:38 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: [254B blob data] Okt 03 17:39:38 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: [301B blob data] Okt 03 17:39:38 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: firewall tools were not found or cannot be used Okt 03 17:39:41 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: [338B blob data] Okt 03 17:39:41 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: failed to add iptables rule to allow DHCP requests from 'virbr0' Okt 03 17:41:07 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: No response from client 0x7fe8b0c19450 after 5 keepalive messages in 31 seconds Okt 04 06:35:28 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: No response from client 0x7fe8b0c171a0 after 5 keepalive messages in 32 seconds Okt 04 06:40:05 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: No response from client 0x7fe8b0c164e0 after 5 keepalive messages in 31 seconds Okt 04 06:58:36 jupiter libvirtd[1242]: No response from client 0x7fe8b0c17050 after 5 keepalive messages in 31 seconds What to install for the "firewall tools"? Gentoo didn't pull anything related ... Is that relevant? What about these keepalive messages, I assume this is responsible for my failing virt-manager-connections. Thanks for any help on this, I am quite stuck here already ...
