Add yourself to the libvirt group. If you're making a connection from a local virt-manager to a remote libvirtd you need to do one of three things, as by default libvirtd allows no remote access: - enable the "listen" option in /etc/default/libvirt-bin - relax the permissions in the remote's file /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf - connect to the libvirtd via an ssh tunnel logged in to the remote server In a previous job I chose to implement the third option (I'd looked at item 1 but couldn't see how to integrate the embedded SASL based authentication with the other authentication scheme(s) already present). > If I start kvm from the command line I get: > WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: > /home/carlf/.cache/keyring-7jbXBL/pkcs11: No such file or directory > error: failed to get domain '/mnt/data/kvm-images/xp2' > error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown How are you starting kvm, and with what options?
