## FAQs
|
|
|
|
#### Why can't I connect to a remote URI?
|
|
|
|
When connecting to remote URIs, you probably need to override the `libvirt` socket location, see [www.jedi.be][jedi].
|
|
|
|
virt-manager -c 'qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'
|
|
virt-viewer -c 'qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'
|
|
|
|
#### I still can't connect to a remote URI, why?
|
|
|
|
This formula for `virt-manager` does not include the `openssh-askpass` dependency and does not prompt for passwords in a popup window. Here are two workarounds:
|
|
|
|
1. Run `virt-manager` with either the `--debug` or `--no-fork` option to get password prompt via the CLI.
|
|
|
|
2. Set up SSH keys between your local and remote system to avoid the prompt.
|
|
|
|
#### Why can't I connect to a local URI (*e.g.*, qemu:///system)?
|
|
|
|
I've not yet tested `virt-manager` against any local URIs/hypervisors. If you get `virt-manager` working with a local hypervisor and needed to take any special steps, feel free to share the details.
|
|
|
|
#### Everything was working yesterday, but it's not working today, can you help?
|
|
|
|
If `virt-manager` or its dependencies have been upgraded recently (`brew upgrade`), it's possible that a reinstall may fix the issue (see [#39](https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/issues/39)).
