Summary

0005334: virt-manager doesn't launch anymore

Description

After the first launch of virt-manager, which worked as expected, i can not launch it again. I have to launch it with the dbus-launch command.

# virt-manager --no-fork --debug
(same problem if i don't provide the "--no-fork --debug" options...)

~0014410 lhecking (reporter) 2012-02-06 12:41	Same here and I can confirm the issue. Thanks for the workaround.

~0015626 dcabot (reporter) 2012-08-11 02:11	I have the same problem here.

~0015627 tigalch (manager) 2012-08-11 07:05	Is the problem also there in 6.3?

~0015628 dcabot (reporter) 2012-08-12 17:28	yes it is

~0015712 demo007 (reporter) 2012-08-28 17:46	dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id solved this issue for me, probably a dbus bug.

~0015713 toracat (manager) 2012-08-29 01:40	Maybe related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598200 .

~0016145 ta.innok (reporter) 2012-12-13 19:20	FYI: same problem here after fresh install, Problem occurred directly after the fresh install. Hardware: Dell Poweredge 1950, 2 x XEON 5160 Install: CentOS 6.3 via 'CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso' Select 'Virtual Host' during the Install-Package Group Selection. After Install only eth1 activated, one run of 'yum update' and ntfs-3g installed (via EPEL). One virtual guest created (WinXP fresh install from iso) and some start/stop playing with the new installed guest-OS. Guest-OS shutdown, Host-OS (CentOS 6.3) reboot, and after the reboot of the Host-OS the descripted error occurred. libvertd working correct (also able to start the guest-OS via virsh), only the virt-manager (and also virt-viewer) don't work. The Problem was solved after the command given by demo007 (dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id). X-Server: Xming running on Windows7, virt-manager started via SSH Connection. Maybe someone change the 'Product Version' to 6.3 ??

~0022853 snidley (reporter) 2015-04-21 16:10	I am using 6.5 and 6.4, depending on the server. Both have the same problem. The "demo007" solution did not work. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Our configuration used xCAT, GPFS, NFS. I do an "ssh -Y" to get to the KVM host so that X can be forwarded. I had been periodically unable to run virt-manager directly, so ran started it via dbus-launch virt-manager. I am, however, able to use virt-viewer, and the problem with running virt-manager is now a solid failure. I do have a 389-ds server running on a virtual client, and I can forward X from it. I just can't do it from this server.
