      Who spends $5 on a wrench?

      Anyone who goes to a brick and mortar store.

      See.... you'd just use a brick for a fraction of the price.

      Just steal a loose brick!

        I've got an old CRT monitor sitting in the corner that could probably do the trick

          I use my user in the libvirt group so I do not have to bother with the root user.

          gpasswd -a jbusch libvirt

          Then this works.

          Holy fuck it took way to long to get to this point.

          So here is the stupid approach. 

ssh-keygen -t rsa
generating. . .
. . . 
. . . 
The key fingerprint is . . .

ssh-copy-id -i /home/user/.ssh/d_rsa.pub user@kvm-server-ip

          Login with user@kvm-server-ip password

          Test the login

          Disconnect from the remote server and run this next bit on your management system.

          gpasswd -a username libvirt and then run it on you kvm server assuming you're not using the "root" user.

          Done, and it works.

          @JaredBusch thanks for cutting through the bullshit and helping out here.

            Run that on both systems. Assuming you are using your username and not root in the Virt-Manager connection.

                Wyd you talking about. JARED mentioned that step like 3 posts down from your OP, and it was mentioned several other times as well.

                  Huh?

                  Nothing was as simple as what I just did, Jared was getting to the point at the top of the topic, but there were additional steps I was missing (failed to do entirely). So I dumped all of the rsa keys, and started fresh.

                    The whole thing is taht simple.

                    1. generate your ssh keys
                    2. copy the ssh keys
                    3. add to libvirt group (mentioned in beginning of thread and every other KVM related thread)

                    Done. You can break that up into as many sub steps as you want, but that's what you do.

                          nevermind. . .

                          That's the entire point i tried to make in my 5-steps before it getting ripped apart for me wanting to use 4096 instead of 2048, and not using ssh-copy-id.

                          Because you were a twit about it.
