Aha, thank you! That’s just a weird enough concept to “attach to” a local QEMU user session (where virt-manager will be the guy spinning it off anyway) that I would never have seen it.

Every newbie article about virt-manager starts with a filled list of connections, so I was down to figuring that it’s cleverly detecting a missing dependency or permission and silently eliminating list entries for me.

Glad it helped! The idea is that virt-manager is semi backend agnostic. It’ll doe Xen, Qemu, and LXC via libvirt, and it can do those as root, or unprivileged as well as connect to remote sessions via ssh. Pretty darn cool!

Don’t you hate it when a newbie how-to doesn’t start from where a newbie will, with a fresh install and nothing configured and no prior knowledge?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
