[libvirt-users] virt-manager thru window's remote desktop

[Hisao Taguchi]

Hi,

virt-manager is runnig on the KVM Host.
I want to do something like method-1 instead of method-2.

--[Method 1]--
<User Client PC>:
   + Windows PC with Remote Desktop Client  　or
   + Linux with Terminal Server Client

<KVM Host>:
   + CentOS or Red Hat Linux
   + Virt Manager
   + Guest OS
   + XRDP (Remote Desktop Server)


instead of


--[Method 2]--
<User Client PC>:
   + Windows PC with VNCviewer   or
   + Linux with VNCviewer

<KVM Host>:
   + CentOS or Red Hat Linux
   + Virt Manager
   + Guest OS
   + VNC Server
