[kwlug-disc] Multiple NICs on Ubuntu Server 14.04

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

You should either get a connection to the console of a running instance, or
get a message saying "waiting for guest domain to start".

If you get "cannot find guest domain x", then that VM is not defined.

If you get the "Unable to connect to libvirt", this means that the current
user on the local machine cannot login via ssh to the remote host.

Are you running KVM on a remote host or you local machine?
