Comment 12 for bug 1226310

IMO, i am not opposed to adding LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system to the user's .bashrc file or the per user libvirt configuration file (i think you can set this under ~/.config).

i just don't buy the argument that this would be surprising or unexpected to someone running devtest. Given all the other things we do (including requiring --trash-my-machine, adding interfaces, routes, etc), this is certainly no more surprising than any of that.

And, this trips up almost every new user on Fedora/Red Hat distros, and will for Debian users as well.

The other option is to update all tripleo scripts where virsh is called to never use sudo, and never assume any path under /var/lib/libvirt, and instead use virsh to query for all such paths. That may be more technically correct, but the level of effort is much more than the former option. And given that we are TRASHing your machine, i just don't understand the opposition to adding it to ~/.bashrc automatically so that this doesn't trip people up.
