Hi everyone,

maybe this is an old issue, but I am just starting to set up my
machines with libvirt and qemu-kvm, and tried using a remote connection.

I already changed the following lines in libvirtd.conf:
unix_sock_group = "libvirt"
unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"
auth_unix_rw = "none"

I made my user a member of said group 'libvirt'. And I restarted both
libvirtd and polkit.

I can connect as local user via
        virsh -c qemu:///sytem
without a password prompt. I can also ssh into the remote host with my
ssh key without problems.

Trying from another machine (say hostname HOSTX, username testuser) with
        virsh -c qemu+ssh://testusers@HOSTX/system
always results in
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error:
received hangup / error event on socket

Unfortunately, you can't use polkit remotely. I think you are suffering the same problem I wasted time investigating several years ago
