First step then is to make sure you are connecting to the same libvirtd instance as virt-manager is (by default, virsh run as yourself tries to connect to qemu:///session, while virt-manager tries to connect to qemu:///system). Double-check what 'virsh uri' outputs to see if you are connecting to the session instance (which would explain not seeing anything); and if so, use 'virsh -c qemu:///system list --all' to see the difference (the virsh man page also documents some environment variables you can set to avoid having to type -c ... all the time). The <domain> I'm referring to is the top-level element in the XML that you would get by 'virsh -c qemu:///system dumpxml $dom', or which pulls up in the editor for 'virsh -c qemu:///system edit $dom'. > > (FWIW, consider me a libvirt novice, despite trying out virt-manager > every year or so for the last 3 years or so.

Please keep at it, and please keep giving us feedback - it's insights like these that will make it easier to improve the docs for other first-time users. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
