Virt-Manager and Kwallet

[Grimblee]

Hello,

I’ve been struggling for some time now with Virt-manager and Kwallet.

when I try to connect to an hypervisor here’s the error I get:

mpossible de se connecter à libvirt.

Cannot recv data: Pass a valid window to KWallet::Wallet::openWallet().
Permission denied, please try again.
Pass a valid window to KWallet::Wallet::openWallet().
Permission denied, please try again.
Pass a valid window to KWallet::Wallet::openWallet().
Permission denied (publickey,password).: Connexion ré-initialisée par le correspondant

Vérifiez que le démon « libvirtd » est en cours d’exécution
sur l’hôte distant.

It doesn’t even ask me for a password.

I tried to recreat a new wallet, didn’t change anything. Of course, libvirtd is running on my hypervisor.

When I kill all kwallet process and try to connect, it ask for the kwallet password, I say no and then I get the ksshaskpass window and can finally connect to my hypervisor.

But then kwallet is kind of broken for my browser and such …

Has anyone seen something similar ?

One think I’ve seen when killing kwallet is that there’s 2 of them, kwalletd and kwalletd5.

Maybe Virt-Manager is trying to use the deprecated kwalletd instead of the plasma 5 version ?

Thanks,

It sounds to me like this. So it should work nevertheless.
Not sure whats wrong here though. I never worked with libvirtd

Ok, I have two ideas:

• Using ssh keys on my hypervisor.

• Setting manually the password in kwallet

I got a question about that, does the kwallet management GUI apply changes to both versions ?

Or do I need to add password entries using kwalletcli ?

If none of those work I’ll try to look further …

Thanks,

You need to set it up for both as they are not syncing as they are used for different applications
