Libvirt is tunnelling an RPC protocol over the SSH connection.
Your bashrc is printing this text onto the SSH conmnection and
that corrupts the libvirt RPC protocol.
If you want to print something whjen people login use the
/etc/motd file which is designed for this pupose, don't
print stuff from a .bashrc. Libvirt gives the options to
SSH that prevent display of /etc/motd contents, so that
its RPC protocol doesn't get corrupted.
