There are two possible connections you can make. One is the system wide instance called qemu:///system - this allows root fully access, and users readonly access. For this use virsh --connect qemu:///system list Or if you're not root virsh --connect qemu:///system --readonly list Alternatively if you don't have root access, there is a per-user instance but you won't get access to any kernel accceleration virsh --connect qemu:///session list You can also set export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=qemu:///system If you don't want to type --connect URI every time If you were using virt-manager the title bar will tell you which it connected to. Normally it will be the system instance if you allowed it to run in privileged mode Regards, Dan.
