libvirt/kvm networking

[Kent Tenney]

I don't know if this applies to you, but it took me some time
to figure out how to start the vm instance correctly.

from http://howtoforge.org/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-9.04-p3
"Before you start a new VM for the first time, you must define it from
its xml file (located in the /etc/libvirt/qemu/ directory):
define /etc/libvirt/qemu/vm1.xml"

Are you doing
$ sudo virsh

virsh # define /etc/libvirt/qemu/<myvm>.xml

virsh # start <myvm>

then

$ ssh me@<myvm addr>
or
$ vncviewer 127.0.0.1

?

Thanks,
Kent
