Connecting over ssh works differently from inside virt-manager #136

Closed aneurinprice closed 4 years ago

When attempting to add a connection via the virt-manager interface, my ssh config seems to be ignored. SSH host entries and my ssh key do NOT appear to be acknowleged. Please see below.

If there is something I am misunderstanding how virt-manager works on macOS, please let me know. Perhaps there is a quick and easy fix by setting an env var that I do know about? This is 100% reproducable.

@jeffreywildman I'm at a bit of a loss here, I don't know my way around a mac to troubleshoot this any further

@aneurinprice a possible workaround would be to add a connection with a custom URI from within virt-manager. Be sure to add the socket parameter as in your first example. This seems to have fixed the same issue I had on my machine.

@5nafu Thank you so much! I can confrim that this worked perfectly. Do you think I should keep the issue open as this is more of a workaround than a feature

Thanks @5nafu, closing since the issue will still remain searchable.
