checkout the virt-manager and libvirt pacakges. They will help :idea:

Yea, sorry, but this is really bad advice. Virt-manager is a manged POS that will run you ragged trying to get all the requirements and pre-requisites in place, not to mention the insanely picky specific requirements to even get it to load.

@dachris
I'm not sure why you got that response. Try adding
Code:
-vnc :1
to your kvm command. Then you should be able to do:
Code:

vncviewer:1
