Hi Guys,
Today I've discovered that I can't use virt-manager to connect to any of my remote hosts via ssh. It was working up until now (sort of).
I've not been able to get askpass to come up when making the ssh connections for a while now (I have ssh-askpass, ksshaskpass and ssh-askpass-gnome installed, but no pop up) but was able to log in by starting an ssh session on the hosts in a terminal first, then starting virt-manager (yes, I know, should have worked out why askpass wasn't working before now).
During my mucking around trying to get it to work I've tried running virt-manager from the command line and came up with the following.
I did some digging around on this warning and it seems its a problem that lots of people are having with non gnome installs. One fix suggested was to add KDE to the /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop file (which only hase GNOME and a few others in it) and reboot, but sadly, that hasn't solved the issue.
Does anyone have any idea if a) this is really a problem, b) why I never get to see a password box and c) why the method I was using is now failing?
I have tried adding keys to the machines and logging into the remote hosts as my user rather than root, but still no joy. In all cases I'm getting permission denied errors which suggests to me the ssh isn't happy.
Anyway.. an clues please??
Ta
Peter.
