[Spice-devel] Flatpaking virt-viewer/remote-viewer

[Adrian Lucrèce Céleste]

I've hit a bit of a snag with virt-viewer. I've got it compiled, 
running, but whenever I try to connect to a remote instance, I always 
get this:


[alc at xps org.virt_manager.virt-viewer]$ flatpak run 
org.virt_manager.virt-viewer --debug -c 
qemu+ssh://upsquared@192.168.10.192/system
(virt-viewer:2): virt-viewer-DEBUG: 22:21:30.782: connecting ...
(virt-viewer:2): virt-viewer-DEBUG: 22:21:30.783: Opening connection to 
libvirt with URI qemu+ssh://upsquared@192.168.10.192/system
Enter passphrase for key '/home/alc/.ssh/id_rsa':
(virt-viewer:2): virt-viewer-DEBUG: 22:21:38.758: Error: End of file 
while reading data: Ncat: No such file or directory.: Input/output error

Connecting to that URI via virt-manager on the same machine just works. 
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.


Here is my current flatpak manifest:
