(please keep me CC'd, I'm not subscribed to this list) Hi, Has there been any thought given to supporting remote connections to QEMU session instances in virt-manager? (i.e. qemu+ssh://hostname/session?socket=path) Manually hacking in the URI with dconf seems to mostly work, but (for example) I quickly encountered a bug when creating a VM where virt-manager assumed the only usable storage pool was my *local* homedir instead of the remote homedir. virsh and other tools support these connections just fine. The reason I want to remotely connect to a QEMU session instance is because with qemu-bridge-helper giving unprivileged access to bridges, if one also does chmod 666 /dev/kvm, QEMU session instances actually become quite useful. You can run actual production VMs with them. Specifically, I want to use them as a way to roll out a virtual machine service for all the students at my university: Just give them a shell account, set some ulimits and tell them how to make a session-mode vm. (I know, there are some flaws in my ability to really do limits here, but it's enough for my use case). If they were able to use virt-manager instead of virsh to manage those VMs, it would sure make it easier for them... and I think there are a lot of this kind of use case that are enabled by the existence of qemu-bridge-helper.
