OK, here's what I have found lately, To the VM's created using an old image raring-desktop-i386 -20121108.2 i386 (using libvirt on quantal host) I can ssh fromt he same host using ssh ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine
But to the VM's crated using the latest images -20121129 ( using the same method as the old VM was created) I can not ssh using the same command but instead i need to add a .local at the end of the host name i.e. in the new VMs ssh ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine does NOT work but instead ssh ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine.local DOES work NB: openssh-server was installed on the VMs soon after the installation of VMs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1084064 Title: Can not ssh to raring VM's using hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1084064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
