Virtual Machine Manager cannot connect to graphics console

Post by afalanga » 2015/07/30 15:08:13

I'm trying to use the installed virtual machine software as opposed to Oracle Virtual Box. Chiefly because the Virtual Machine Manager will allow for a network install of the OS through PXE. Now, I've arranged with the software for a Windows 7 machine to be installed (using PXE should allow me to install our corporate IS-blessed Win 7 image). However, when I start up the machine, I get this:
Error: viewer connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected
I admit to complete ignorance on what the hypervisor is and why it's refusing me, but I apprehend that it's important. So, I take out the modern computer users' swiss army knife, Google, to see what's up and I find this bug in the CentOS bug db: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6678 However, the solution to the bug says:
This issue is fixed by adding "localhost" to /etc/hosts
This case can be considered closed.
???? What ???? Here's my /etc/hosts file:
[afalanga@afalanga4 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
It is localhost so what is this talking about? How do I fix this?

Perhaps inside the VM?
