I added <parallel type='pty'> <source path='/dev/lp0' /> <target port='0'/> </parallel> to the <devices> section of the relevant file in /etc/libvirt/qemu. The parallel "hardware" shows up in virt-manager, but with - as the source path; running the domain yields Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 531, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 380, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 262, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error Timed out while reading console startup output Same result if I use <source path='/dev/pts/2' />. If I remove the parallel "hardware" in the virt-manager, the guest starts up OK. I'm now running libvirt-0.4.5-2.fc8 virt-manager-0.6.0-1.fc8 on the host.
