Using virt-manager with seahorse instead of ssh-askpass

ssh-agentssh-keysvirt-manager

On my Arch Linux virt-manager can not connect remote ssh and tells about installing ssh-askpass. As I wan't to use the gnome default seahorse, I was looking for a solution which I didn't find on the web.

What binary is invoked depends on the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable. You can set it to your seahorse askpass in you rc files, instead of linking on to the other.

export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass
