Description René Fleschenberg 2015-01-08 22:54:21 UTC

virt-manager complains about missing ssh-askpass even though the user running virt-manager can actually log into the remote system using public key authentication.

Reproducible: Always




Unable to connect to libvirt.

You need to install openssh-askpass or similar
to connect to this host.

Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://root@remote.host/system
