Hi Cole, I have 2 Virtual Machines here, both running KVM as virtualizer. Virtual Machine-1 Host - Fedora 12 KVM libvirt Vitural Machine-2 Host - Debian 5.0 KVM libvirt Previously on Genom desktop of both machines Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager starts 2 windows:- Virtual Machine Manager Name localhost (QEMU) - connecting and Authenticate Password for root After entering root password -> Authenticate changes; Virtual Machine Manager Name localhost (QEMU) vm01 vm02 vm03 .... For unknown accident/cause Virtual Machine-2 (Debian 5.0) changes; Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager starts only 1 window, without Authenticate window asking for root password. Virtual Machine Manager Name localhost vm01 vm02 vm03 .... I don't know why? How can I change it back to its original state? TIA B.R.
