Package: virt-manager Version: 0.8.4-7 Severity: normal To set up a tunnel and access remote VNC displays, virt-manager does a:
ssh -l $USERNAME $HOST 'nc -q 2>&1 | grep -q "requires an argument";if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then CMD="nc -q 0 127.0.0.1 5902";else CMD="nc 127.0.0.1 5902";fi;$CMD;' however, this doesn't work if your shell on the remote host is zsh, as zsh doesn't expand $CMD. Using «eval $CMD» works, or you can do sh -c "$CMD", but just plain $CMD doesn't work. Steps to reproduce should be trivial, but for completeness: on a remote host with libvirt running and an existing VM, change the shell of the user you are logging in with to zsh. Try to connect using virt-manager. Observe that you get the error message: zsh:1: command not found: nc -q 0 127.0.0.1 5902 (the port number might be different, of course) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages virt-manager depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii librsvg2-common 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii python 2.6.5-11 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-dbus 0.83.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-glade2 2.17.0-3 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 2.28.1-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk-vnc 0.4.1-2 A VNC viewer widget for GTK+ (Pyth ii python-gtk2 2.17.0-3 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-libvirt 0.8.2-1 libvirt Python bindings ii python-support 1.0.9 automated rebuilding support for P ii python-urlgrabber 3.9.1-4 A high-level cross-protocol url-gr ii python-vte 1:0.24.3-1 Python bindings for the VTE widget ii virtinst 0.500.3-2 Programs to create and clone virtu Versions of packages virt-manager recommends: ii gnome-icon-theme 2.30.3-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii libvirt-bin 0.8.2-1 the programs for the libvirt libra Versions of packages virt-manager suggests: pn ssh-askpass <none> (no description available) ii virt-viewer 0.2.1-1 Displaying the graphical console o -- no debconf information -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
