Hmm, this seems to be another issue, because the issue I was talking about (`virsh -c vbox:///session' failing) already existed with libvirt 1.3.1-2 (and before IIRC). But yes, I probably also see the issue you mention -- at least libvirt 1.3.2-1 behaves oddly here: at first I wasn't able to start a VM (qemu:///system), and then (with no qemu:///session VM running), virt-manager complained about Error polling connection 'qemu:///session': internal error: client socket is closed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 385, in _handle_tick_queue conn.tick_from_engine(**kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1319, in tick_from_engine raise e # pylint: disable=raising-bad-type libvirtError: internal error: client socket is closed However, libvirtd is still running (assuming this is "the daemon" you were talking about).
