Re: [libvirt] error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

...

I've never seen that error message before, but if I had to guess I'd say that was a bug in 0.6.1 libvirt. There were quite a few really nasty bugs in that release, which cause really wierd, random, and inexplicable problems, so I'd really recommend updating to at least 0.6.3 if at all possible.

Thanks for the reply. I will try to update asap and if I should ever see this again, I will warm up this thread.

With 0.7.0 I still see the problem. I will try to start libvirt with -vvv and see if I can provide useful logs. Regards Dominik
