$ rm -rf .virt-manager
Gnome
Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager
qemu is not there instead "localhost" displayed. Clicking it drops down
all VMs
Yeah, that's the row I mean. If it opens and shows VMs, sounds like that is
what you want. It might not be asking for root passwd twice because it is
caching the auth credentials: depends on what policykit version is installed.
virt-manager only asks for the root passwd to connect to the libvirt qemu
driver: sounds like it is doing that, so not sure if there is something else
you want.
Virtual Machine Manager
File -> No "Open Connect". Only "Add Connection"
Add connection is what I mean, sorry.
