Unfortunately, when I run virt-manager and connect to the host, the host's capabilities are fetched very quickly (according to virt-manager's debug output), but it then takes 20–30 seconds until the connection is established.
This isn't fixed, but…
The next problem is that when I then try to create a host, I am shown the dialog and can enter one or two characters into the name field, then the GUI completely freezes, and so does libvirtd on the other system (ctrl-c does not work anymore).
This was apparently due to my definition of a default network (172.27.0.0/24) on the "any physical interface" using NAT. Once I removed this network, I could create test machines. This may or may not be due to the fact that one of my interfaces is slave to a bridge (eth0 slaves to the "wan" bridge). However, in the interfaces dropdown of the network creation dialog, only eth0 shows up. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ a bachelor is a man who never made the same mistake once. spamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net
