I tried to connect to a Debian KVM host, using the "Virtual Machine Manager" GUI (virt-manager) on Ubuntu 12.04, but got the following error message:
Unable to connect to libvirt:
End of file while reading data: ...
nc: unix connect failed: No such file or directory: Input/output error
Verify that:
- The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
- The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
- You are member of the 'libvirtd' group
[SOLUTION]
Just like the error message suggests: the "libvirtd" daemon was not started on the server side.
On the server, run the following command:
Code: Select all
$ sudo service libvirt-bin start
