I'm having a bit of trouble connecting to my virtual machine host, which is an Ubuntu server running KVM/Libvirt. I can connect to the server using an Ubuntu client and I can connect via virsh on a Fedora 16 client. Unfortunately, connecting via virt-manager fails with the error: "unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon".
