Well, it depends on how you have defined any VMs you are running. If
you have defined KVM vms via libvirt, then virt-manager will get the
relevant information for them from libvirt and display them in the
UI. If you haven't defined any domains at all, you can create them by
clicking the "new" button next to the KVM connection in virt-manager.
If you've created a KVM guest outside of libvirt, you'll need to
redefine it using libvirt via "virsh define", or manually place a
complete XML domain definition in the correct directory under
/etc/libvirt -- otherwise libvirt has no way of knowing anything
about the guest and can't manage it for you.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Hugh, your help has been invaluable.
I can start the VM, but I can't specify a VNC option (SDL works,
though). I keep getting "Could not parse VNC address". I've read
some pages that point to a dependency on gtkvnc error, but I wouldn't
expect a dependency to manifest itself as an error like this (but I
could be wrong). I'm using Ubuntu which does not package
virt-manager, so I've had to build mostly from scratch, is there a
config option I'm missing?
Thanks again,
Cam
Ahh yeah sorry this is a lot more difficult without packaging.
Yes, Fedora seems to be popular for most KVM users :-)
I believe
you are now running afoul of our newly introduced dependency on gtk-vnc,
which is a gtk widget that renders a vnc connection. You can download
it from http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net.
I'll give it a shot.
Where is the error showing up exactly? Even without the gtk-vnc widget,
you should be able to make a normal vnc connection to your guest using
vncviewer (for example).
--Hugh
The VM won't start at all. Nothing seems to point to gtk-vnc.
The libvirtd output is:
libvir: QEMU error : QEMU quit during console startup
Could not parse VNC address
Virt-manager pops up a console with this error:
virDomainCreate() failed QEMU quit during console startup
Could not parse VNC addresssudo echo 1 >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
sudo /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.21.150 -j MASQUERADE
the "Details" window within the popup provides this:

My graphics line in my xml is:

I've also tried values 1 and -1 for port.
Thanks again,
Cam
