Marc, Be glad to assist. Here's the info I can provide, let me know if you need more.
Dist: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: virt-manager 0.8.2-2ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Linux version 2.6.32-24-generic (bui...@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) Execute virt-manager from the command line as a regular user Add a new connection with... Hypervisor = QEMU/KVM Connect = Remote tunnel over SSH Hostname = usern...@hostname Click the "Connect" button and enter the SSH key's passphrase Once logged into the KVM host, do the following: Click the "Create a new virtual machine" button in the menu Specify a Name and select "Local install media" Click the Forward button Select an ISO image from one of the storage pool/volumes (I'm using a Ubuntu 10.04 Server ISO) Specify OS type as Linux Specify Version as Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Click the Forward button Keep default memory settings Click the Forward button Choose "Select managed or other existing storage" option Click the Browse button, select a storage pool, and click the New Volume button Name the new storage volume "testing" and use the defaults and click Finish button Select the newly created image "testing.img" from the list and click "Choose Volume" button Click the Forward button At this point, you should receive the following error: Input Error Storage Parameter error. Name "testing.img" already in use by another volume. Interestingly, if you select the "Create a disk image on the computer's hard drive" instead of using an existing storage location everything works fine. It will store it in the default /var/lib/libvirt/images, but then I have to do some editing to move it to the right storage location, etc. Let me now what other info I can provide to help.
