Yes there is qemu-dm process running. I see a line in "virsh dumpxml xen_FC5G1" <graphics type='vnc' port='5900'/> >From the log file of virt-manager I have DEBUG Graphics vnc://localhost:5902 ERROR Unable to activate console socket.error(111,'Connection refused') In the /etc/xen/xen_FC5G1, I do have vnc=1 and vncunused=1.

Ok, that's good - can you see if there is a qemu-dm process running, eg ps -auxfww | grep qemu-dm > But I do have qemu*log messages.

Can you see if there is a '<graphics>' block in the XML when you run 'virsh dumpxml <domain name>' For the domain that you failed to get a console on. Also make sure that in the /etc/xen/<domain name> there is a 'vnc=1' config option. Finally, take a look at /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log to see if there's any errors reported. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel P.
