> OK, I think I get it now. A couple of days ago, you had me install librbd1 from sid. Perhaps I didn't have that software running earlier. It would have grabbed 5900, bumping KVM up to 5901 - which was the port I normally used for remote VNC sessions. This would now cause the error I was getting.
librbd has exactly nothing to do with this either.
it is just a library, linked from qemu-kvm, which
does not use VNC ports. More, previous versions
of qemu and qemu-kvm used the same library but an
older version of it.
krfb which uses your port 5900 is completely independent
on qemu, kvm and librbd.
