Hi all, I have setup some Virtualbox VMs under my normal user session. When I try to list the vbox machines locally I get: $ virsh -c vbox:///session list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 3 Ubuntu-MASS-controller running When I try to list the machines from a remote location I get: $ virsh -c vbox+ssh://theodotos@10.0.2.2/session list setlocale: No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Operation not supported: Connecting to session instance without socket path is not supported by the ssh connection driver

I have setup public key authentication between the remote machine and the VBox host. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I will reconfigure the VMs to be managed by the system instead of user session. _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
