Package: virt-manager Version: 0.7.0-2~bpo50+1 Severity: important
I am finding virt-manager impossible to use with a remote host. Using SSH access, I log into the remote machine and attempt to add a virtual network. Upon reaching the page where I am asked to select a physical network to which to NAT traffic, I see not the physical networks on the remote machine (eth0, eth1, eth2, etc.) but the physical networks on my laptop (wlan0, etc.). Additionally, when asked to choose a file (whether it be installation media, a block device for a new virtual hard disk, etc.), I am given a "Choose Volume" dialog rather than a remote file chooser. This makes it impossible to install the VM. These problems do not arise when administering local VMs. At the moment, my workaround is to install virt-manager on the remote machine and use an SSH tunnel to forward my X session. This is, obviously, quite inefficient.
