I recently changed my desktop from Centos Server (GUI) to RHEL WS 7.5
(required by employer). With my Centos server as a desktop all worked
good.
Now:
Desktop = rhel WS 7.5
Remote server = Centos 7 Server (CLI)
I launch virt-manager on my rhel desktop and all VM's work great. I
connect to my remote server and I'm asked by ksshaskpass for the root
password and connection is made with remote vm's displayed in
virt-manager.
I launch a remote vm, and I'm asked again by ksshaskpass for the root
password = no good, it just keeps asking. The VM launches (remote
server verifies that with virt-top) but I don't get any display.
This worked perfectly with my Centos Server as a desktop. I have X
forward in ssh, I'm using spice, I have disabled kde wallet and
ksshaskpass, but it still pop's up requesting a password, which I know
is right since it populated virt-manager with all my remote vms. I
tried the Remote server root PW and even the root PW of the VM=no joy.
When I log into the remote server I see ssh:notty errors.
I do believe it is the password request when opening a VM that is
stopping the display from showing up and nothing else..maybe...:(
Sorta lost... any ideas other than reinstalling Centos Server as my desktop?
