I enabled the log output in libvirt daemon, and there was one error message that appeared: error : libxlMakeDomBuildInfo:553 : unsupported configuration: emulator '/usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin/qemu-system-i386' not found
libxlMakeDomBuildInfo reports the error via virReportError https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/libxl/libxl_conf.c#L592
When searching the path with apt-file, there are no packages providing this file. I have qemu-system-x86-xen however: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-universe-amd64/qemu-system-x86-xen_4.2-3ubuntu6_amd64.deb.html which provides /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 Creating a symlink solved my issue: cd /usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin sudo ln -s /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 . -> This seems to be an opened bug report on the libvirt Debian package (since 2016 !) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830307 -> Is there a way for libvirt to actually report meaningful errors in this case ?
A meaningful error is reported, it's just not making it back to the client. And I don't spot anywhere along the failure path of libxlDomainCreateWithFlags -> libxlDomainStartNew -> libxlDomainStart -> libxlMakeDomBuildInfo where that helpful error would be unset/overwritten.
