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 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Trey Dockendorf <treydock@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 5:35 AM Subject: Re: [libvirt-users] virt-manager / ssh (publickey) To: Shaun Glass <shaunglass@gmail.com> Cc: libvirt-users@redhat.com 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, http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/ . - Trey On Nov 28, 2011 1:34 PM, "Shaun Glass" <shaunglass@gmail.com> wrote:

Good day All,

I have experienced the following ...

I have a rhel 6.1 server running qemu-kvm. I have setup my desktop for a publickey login (root user) to said server so that I may manage the server (qemu-kvm) via the desktop with virt-manager.

However, I connect just fine, but cannot create vm's. I get :

"No hypervisor options where found for this connection"

My laptop does run qemu-kvm via virt-manager and so I decided to setup a publickey login as before and guess what ... I can create vm's. It seems virt-manager bases the creation of vm's based on the hardware / software of the machine it is launched from and not the machine it is connecting to.

Is there a workaround / config change etc that can be done so that virt-manager uses the hardware / software configuration of the system it is connecting to ?

Regards

Shaun Glass
