[libvirt-users] "connection refused", but server is listening

[Pasquale Dir]

Another strange thing. I tried, in order to solve this, to put my hostname
as listening address.
I started with the ip, 192.168.2.2, and it works.
I then decided to use the domain name, pasquale-Dell, but the socket is not
created.
Looking into logs it seems it tries to resolve the name, without success.
After a lot of tries it just decides to give up. However, in file
/etc/hosts the resolution is correctly set and I can just think that
libvirt starts before the name discovery system is actually up.

The fact the daemon is not started at all confirms this.

But now here's the moment I begin to HATE libvirt.
You would expect that executing service libvirt-bin start (or restart)
would solve this, right?
Well, if I do that the deamon correctly starts...but libvirt hangs!!
Every connect I try with virsh, let it be local or remote, just hangs
indefinitely.

The is no *censored* way to restart the libvirt daemon: it just leads to
hang.
The only *censored* way to restart it is to restart the whole system and
pray libvirt starts after the name resolution.
