But it's probably not worth trying to transfer that over, instead manually `File->Open Connection` and recreate the list. If once connected to local qemu:///system your VMs aren't showing up, and you copied over /etc/libvirt/qemu files, you may need to restart libvirtd or virtqemud (or reboot). The proper way to do this would have been `sudo virsh dumpxml $VMNAME > $VMNAME.xml` on the source and then `sudo virsh define $VMNAME.xml` on the dest. - Cole
