Situation:
I have set up several VM’s now (1x fedora 18, 1x Mint Debian, 1x opensuse 12.2 and 1x windows server 2012) with my opensuse 12.2 box (kvm/ virt-manager).
What works:
-I can use ssh to access any of the linux vm’s from other computers (using their respective IP addresses assigned with DHCP from the router) within the local network, implying bridges should be configured properly.
-VNC or SPICE to the host can be used to access the VM’s
What doesn’t:
I am having problems connecting any of the VM’s using RDP or VNC directly. Only VNC or SPICE to the Host will work.
Any hints on how do I workaround that, or is that something by design that is not supposed to circumvent?
I tried turning firewall off for both the VM and the host, that didn’t work (connection closed)
RDP to Windows VM is simply a blank screen (window content is blank) after I enabled RDP access in the Windows VM
SSH was set up as part of the troubleshooting (SSH to linux VM’s directly works)
Please let me know what logs I should post/further troubleshooting steps I should take.
If you use one of the native options in virt-manager, you need to “Create connection” from within an instance of virt-manager. Of course, virt-manager does not run from within Windows directly if that is what you are trying to do. But note that SSH is a supported option
If you create your own solution to remote into your VM Host, that should work too altghough then it’s not a native virt-manager solution. In that case, usual networking issues should apply.
