Bug 537436 – virt-manager/libvirt USE=-avahi - Error launching connect dialog: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 532328
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Uwe Sauter 2015-01-23 12:24:15 UTC]

Using virt-manager-1.1.0 in combination with libvirt-1.2.10-r3 I get the following message when trying to create a new connection to a remote host:

"Error launching connect dialog: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Versions/USE flags:
app-emulation/virt-manager-1.1.0 (gtk policykit sasl -debug -gnome-keyring)
app-emulation/libvirt-1.2.10-r3 (caps libvirtd lvm macvtap nfs nls numa pcap policykit qemu sasl udev vepa virt-network virtualbox -audit -avahi -firewalld -fuse -iscsi -lxc -openvz -parted -phyp -rbd -selinux -systemd -uml -wireshark-plugins -xen)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge libvirt-1.2.10-r3 with disabled Avahi support
2. Open virt-manager, File -> Add connection
3. Error message appears
Actual Results:  
Error message see description

Expected Results:  
I should be able to enter the connection details.

I expect the ebuild to honor my choice that I don't want Avahi installed on my system, hence libvirt should be configured the way it is now.
I disabled Avahi in make.conf.

After dismissing that error message I acutally can enter connection details so this is more of a cosmetic bug.

[Comment 2 Matthias Maier 2015-04-05 14:39:09 UTC]

This is already fixed in 1.1.0-r2
