[libvirt-users] Fwd: virt-manager / ssh (publickey)

[Shaun Glass]

Heya,

I will setup for a regular user, but as for connection, as follows :

I opened virt-manager, defined a new connection :

Hypervisor : QEMU/KVM

* Connect to remote host

Method : SSH

Username : root

Hostname : 192.168.1.201

Generated URI : qemu+ssh://root@192.168.1.201/system

Cheers

Whats the connection string your using?

Also Id recommend not using root and giving a normal user account full
libvirt control via policykit.  I have an example here,
