Hi all,

When I try to connect to a remote KVM host from my CentOS workstation
(both are CentOS 7.1 fully patched) using virt-manager (ssh+qemu), the following error is displayed:

Error launching connect dialogue:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

Traceback (most recent call last):

GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

Searching about this error, I have found this patch:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2014-December/msg00165.html

But applying this solution doesn’t resolves the problem.

Any idea why?
