Docs update about remote connections #42

Open pztrn opened 8 years ago

pztrn commented 8 years ago

Hello, I tried to follow docs while connecting to libvirtd on remote host, which is running Debian Jessie. Unfortunately, I've failed to connect as user which within libvirt group, while trying to connect from linux box as same user was successful. I tried to connect to remote libvirt as root from os x, and this worked. Can you please update readme to suggest testing connection to remote host as root?

Thanks!

Also a good hint was running "virt-manager --debug".

Sure, a hint to verfiy / add the host key on ssh connection first would be nice, too. While I did connect via SSH to the short name of the host (ssh kvm), I entered "kvm.local" into the configuration which lead into asking for host key verification (but in the background). The the connection fails with unknwon reason.
