Though the setup you've described will work, if the machine you're connecting *from* (ie. the client) is also running Linux, then usually a better alternative is to install virt-manager on said client and add a remote connection (File -> Add connection) to the server: this only requires libvirtd to be running on the server, so you can keep it completely headless and still manage all your guests graphically. As a bonus, it's usually faster and more responsive, since you are no longer sending the entire GUI over the wire but rather just the guest display. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
