Similar to the bug that was in debian, if I try to connect to a remote qemu-kvm server via ssh using virt manager, it promptly fails, with this error showing up in ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:51:09 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (connection:991) Scheduling background open thread for qemu+ssh://root@myurl.com/system [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:51:09 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (connection:1177) Background 'open connection' thread is running [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:51:10 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (connection:1227) Background open thread complete, scheduling notify [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:51:10 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (connection:1232) Notifying open result [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:51:10 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (cli:83) Uncaught exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/manager.py", line 665, in _connect_error if conn.is_remote() and re.search(r"nc: .* -- 'U'", details): UnboundLocalError: local variable 'details' referenced before assignment [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:57:37 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (manager:184) Closing manager [Sat, 26 May 2012 15:57:37 virt-manager 16001] DEBUG (engine:475) window counter decremented to 0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
