If you are using a regular user, do something like this on the host: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/docs/cookbook/#access-to-libvirt-without-...

At first, it seemed like a KDE thing, as "ssh-add -l" didn't show anything when I first logged in. So I added ssh-add to the list of startup programs, and now the KDE version of ssh-askpass prompts me for a password when I log in, and I can ssh to the remote machine without entering a passphrase for the key. But I still get the same error when I try to create a new KVM connection! Anybody have any other ideas?

I see this on both machines: /usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh -c exec -l /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/startkde"
