[Fedora-xen] virt-manager gives "The console is currently unavailable" in FC6

[Ranganathan, Shobha]

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

Looks reasonable. 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.
