Having newly compiled a Libvirt on a Windows Vista machine (many

I have attempted to connect to a remote Ubuntu machine using
virsh.exe. However, the connection fails as follows:
$ virsh -c qemu+tcp:///system
You need to specify the server in this URI using a hostname or IP
address: qemu+tcp://ubuntu-server.com/system
error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'localhost':
errno=10061
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
1. I have modified /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf to set listen_tcp=1.
You also need to change this
#auth_tcp = "sasl"
to
auth_tcp = "none"
to disable SASL authentication/encryption for TCP connections, because
your libvirt on Windows is compiled without SASL support. If you need
the libvirt connections to be encrypted you can switch from TCP to TLS
connections using: qemu+tls://ubuntu-server.com/system
2. I cannot find /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd so I am unable to set
LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen".
For Ubuntu packaged libvirt see /etc/default/libvirt-bin and change
libvirtd_opts="-d"
to
libvirtd_opts="-d -l"
as the comment suggest and restart libvirtd using
/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
Now you should be able to connect to the libvirtd on your Ubuntu server.
