I am trying to add libvirt to a linux machine running a custom built linux- there is no packet manager, everything is compiled using buildroot. On this VM server, I am running libvirt-1.2.2 and the linux kernel is 3.18.21 Libvirtd starts and runs in the background. I can add/edit VMs using Virt-install. If I try to connect to the local qemu, everything works: virsh -c qemu:///system If I ssh in from the remote machine, as root, and run virsh, everything seems to work But if I try to connect using virt-manager, or *virsh -c qemu+ssh://root@<server_ip>/system* I get an error: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Cannot recv data: ssh: connect to host 10.10.200.85 port 22: Connection refused: Connection reset by peer Any ideas?
