awesome, it works! kinda....as root it can list the vms, but as a
regular user it repeats this message:
libvir: error : operation failed: xenProxyListDomains
which files does virt-manager require suid perms?
thanks,

I'm using virt-manager-0.2.5 on a Debian system. I installed these
packages per the prerequisites using aptitude:
aptitude install python-gtk2 python-gtk2-dev python-gnome2
python-gnome2-dev python-dbus python-vte python-glade2 python-urlgrabber
I installed libvirt from the cvs sources and I aliened and installed
python-virtinst-0.96.0-1.noarch.rpm.
'make check' for virt-manager complained about some rhpl exceptions, so
I commented out these lines.
src/virtManager/create.py
- from rhpl.exception import installExceptionHandler
- from rhpl.translate import _, N_, textdomain, utf8
I've no idea how this got into the python code - those imports are some
Red Hat specific python helper modules, which I was explicitly trying to
avoid in virt-manager. I'm about to put up a 0.2.6 release which will
remove this crack rock :-) Removing them was a safe thing to do.
So I do a 'make install' and try running it and try to connect to the
local Xen host and get:
Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.
Verify that:
- A Xen host kernel was booted
- The Xen service has been started
I have verified that I'm booted in Xen and that xend has been started.
here's my log:
blade06:~:) cat .virt-manager/virt-manager.log

Check the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file. Is it configured to have either
of these settings set to yes:
(xend-http-server yes)
(xend-unix-server yes)
I strongly recommend setting unix to yes & http to no nbecause http
server has *zero* authentication :-(
Once you've done this, also make sure that $prefix/libexec/libvirt_proxy
is made setuid root - this allows virt-manager to run as an unprivileged
user in read-only mode. You still need to run virt-manager as root if
you want to do read-write operations.

Dan.
