Description Guido Winkelmann 2015-06-09 15:46:42 UTC
When opening the graphical console for a running domain, the following error message appears and virt-manager fails to bring up the grapical console:

'<hostname>' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 network

With <hostname> being the hostname (including domain) through which I connected to the hypervisor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open virt-manager
2. Connect to a remote libvirtd with qemu+tls://
3. Double-click on a running domain to open its graphical console
Actual Results:  
An error message as described above appears, the graphical console window shows "The console is currently unavailable".

Expected Results:  
The domain's virtual framebuffer should be shown in the graphical console window.

This appears to be the same problem as reported on the RedHat bugtracker here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219023

Applying the patch proposed by Giuseppe Scrivano solves the issue for me.

Version 1.2.1 contains bug fixes for a bunch of IPv4/IPv6 related connection problems. Please test 1.2.1 whether it still contains this issue.

The problem no longer occurs with 1.2.1.

Perfect! I've removed 1.2.0  from the tree.
