I'm learning xen on a machine with fc6.i386.

The CPU can do pae and vmx.

I have some problems:

1. virt-manager doesn't start when I'm logged in as
   root:

# virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 56, in ?
    import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

It works if I start /usr/bin/virt-manager instead of /usr/sbin/virt-manager.

2. xm doesn't start:

# xm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 8, in ?
    from xen.xm import main
ImportError: No module named xen.xm

3. If I create a guest and start an installation
(I've tried FC6 and W2K), the guest doesn't come
up again after the "reboot".

For W2K I can fix this problem by creating a new
machine on the same partition and boot from the w2k
CD. When it says "press any key to boot from CD",
I don't. Installing&updating W2K requires some
reboots, this leaves quite some ghost virtual
machines :-)

As of now virt-manager doesn't have the ability to manage inactive domains. You need to boot the guest from the backend using "xm create <name>"

3. The two mouse cursors in the virtual console
don't follow each other, this is quite annoying.
