Hi, thanks for your hint. I read the lines in the documentation, but unfortunately editing the xml within virsh lead to the errors. The Solution to a headless domain was to edit the XML file from bash and then #virsh: define <domainname.xml> to reload the new values for the graphics type of the machine. Obvioulsy something went wrong when editing "live"....
