Hello, Actually, I have exactly the same problem with FC6 for some days now. Concerning Daniel's questions (for me) : - qemu process : ok - virsh dump : ok but why port=-1 ? <graphics type='vnc' port='-1'/> - virt-manager log : Unable to activate console socket.gaierror (-2, 'Nom ou service inconnu') (detail is given below). What strange is, it is that everything worked well at beginning. I have not made system modifications or so. It's the third time that I have to install FC6. It would be really great if you have an idea about what is happening. Thanks for your help <div>2006/11/14, Daniel P.

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.
