@stuartjordan I seem to recall this being one of the reasons I got away from KDE a while back. Some quick google work shows that it might be solved by using kio-fuse but YMMV.
@Pete-S I was the person to mention creating a desktop environment on the system to use as the management domain, and run virt-manager there. And I've repeated it numerous times, across several topics.
As for using virsh, that is an option too.
Sorry, I didn't follow the other previous thread(s).
@black3dynamite Aha! They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was.
Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me.
Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day.
As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it.
The package has one more letter in the name. Should be this...
yum install acpid
Then you can fire it up like this...
systemctl start acpid
systemctl enable acpid
Installation done but error comes
[root@localhost ~]# sysctl start acpid
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/start: No such file or directory
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/acpid: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# sysctl enable acpid
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/enable: No such file or directory
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/acpid: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#
Also - is connecting to the local desktop the only option on using that computers speakers?
I've installed MATE, and am able to connect via that now - but it plays Pithos using the main computers speakers. not what I want... when I have the stereo system on the other side of the room....
There should be options to tunnel the sound through the SSH session.
He wants to use X2Go as a remote control for the machine with the audio playing.
This is going to be a very interesting one to watch. QT has long been a great widget toolset and available cross platform. Adding a layer of robustness for Windowing on top of that from the great folks at the KDE project has a lot of promise. These guys know desktops well.
It looks beautiful, but I have a hard time leaving gnome every time I try. It's just so easy to use. Plus you can make it look half decent with some extensions.
