That isn't necessary if one has copied their public key to the
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the remote host running which is running
libvirtd.
Is that what it's complaining about? I assumed it wasn't properly getting
the key from the GNOME keyring and therefore needed to run that to unlock
it.
Yes. That is why it says "ssh".
Well, it specifically says that ssh-askpass is not found, not "ssh
authentication denied". So there might be a key that exists but isn't
unlocked.
You're right.
I just realized that all of my ssh keys were generated with empty pass phrases. To add to my confused
state, I did a test from a VM which was installed via the Xfce spin. Unlike Workstation and the KDE spin,
the Xfce spin installs openssh-askpass by default which I did not realize.
Now, with that in mind, it would have been good to know *how* the OP was starting virt-manager since
these are 3 observations. With the ssh key and a pass phrase.
1. Starting virt-manager from the command line and openssh-askpass installed one gets a GUI pop-up
requesting pass phrase.
2. Starting virt-manager from the command line without openssh-askpass installed one gets a prompt
in the terminal for the pass-phrase.
3. Starting virt-manager from the menu without openssh-askpass installed results in a pop-up as noted
by the OP. "Configure SSH key access for the remote host, or install an SSH askpass package locally."
So, knowing #3 wold have given me a better chance of actually recreating the error. :-) :-)
