Polkit segmentation fault based on libmozjs-60.so.0 - polkitd crashing
I’ve been using Alpine for awhile to host VMs using KVM and libvirt. I
connect to Alpine using virt-manager over QEMU+SSH. It worked fine until
I upgraded to 3.10. I followed the instructions on the Wiki for setting
up KVM with polkit authentication over SSH and it worked beautifully
until now.
Since I upgraded to 3.10 libvirt works fine and I can use virsh after
connecting via SSH, but I can’t connect with virt-manager from my
Manjaro-based system. It throws:
Unable to connect to libvirt qemu+ssh://——192.168.--.--/system. error from service: CheckAuthorization: Process org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 received signal 9 Verify that the 'libvirtd' daemon is running on the remote host. Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://----
