Re: virt-manager does not save connections

[Maria Tsiolakki <tmaria@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Cole

Many thanks for your reply.
Indeed, installing the dconf solved the problem, however there is still another problem that I forgot to mention in my previous post.
If you choose from "Preferences" option to display the I/O and disk , nothing is displayed, and when you quit the virt-manager and run it again, then the two options are not checked.

I tried to run virt-manager in debug mode  but when I tried to connect to a KVM Host, the application hungs

Any suggestions?


Best regards

Maria

Hello

we have installed centos 7 minimal on a new server. We have also installed the
virt-manager (Version: 0.10.0, Release : 20.el7) on a management server. This
server is not a KVM Host, is just a management server we want to run the
virt-manager in order to connect to remote KVM Hosts.
virt-manager, runs fine, we can create "new connection" to our KVM hosts (with
ssh method), we are able to connect and view our kvm clients. The problem is
that, if you exit the virt-manager, and start it up again, the connections
established during previous login, are not there.

If you execute the command
/bin/systemctl status libvirtd.service

I am not sure what the problem is.

Has anybody installed this version of virt-manager on centos 7?

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance

Hmm. Try running virt-manager --debug and seeing what the output is. However I
bet it's because dconf isn't installed. The virt-manager RPM was missing a
dependency on dconf in 0.10.0, we fixed it in fedora but forgot to fix it in
RHEL7.0 (it will be fixed in 7.1)

So just do 'sudo yum install dconf dbus-x11', restart virt-manager, enter the
connections again, and they should stick.
