Trying to connect to a remote kvm server with virt-manager gives an error that ssh_askpass is not found. I have tried installing different ssh_askpass programs but none of them place the executable in a location, or with a filename that will work with virt-manager.
Installing gnome-ssh-askpass2 from AUR then creating a symlink will work.
ln -s /usr/lib/ssh/gnome-ssh-askpass2 /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass
I understand that a symlink is not a satisfactory solution for a problem such as this. Can anybody offer a more appropriate way to make ssh_askpass work with virt-manager?

I worked out a better way.
Enable key authentication with ssh-copy-id and ssh_askpass is not necessary.
