title: libvirt and VirtualBox / Getting Started
body: <p>I'm trying to get started on libvirt with VirtualBox as a virtualization solution. I installed everything and VirtualBox itself is running when using their VBoxHeadless command.
  However, libvirt fails to connect to VirtualBox:</p>
  
  <pre><code># virsh -c vbox:///session
  libvir: error : could not connect to vbox:///session
  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could not find any hints in the libvirt documentation that point to whether I have to make any domain specific configuration before using virsh.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a hint? Or even better, maybe a tutorial that works through the way of using libvirt, virsh or it's APIs (my later goal) from the ground up.</p>
