[libvirt-users] connect libvirt and virtualbox

[Matthias Bolte]

I get similar messages when I use

   virsh -c vbox:///session

It just tells you that it failed to connect to libvirtd while it was
searching for an interface and node driver. This is okay. The
connection can be used without those drivers.
