Hi Marcela,

That does show it's running, and that virsh can connect to it.

The "sudo" part for virsh was the important bit there, because you probably don't have user access set up, so only root could access the socket used for communication.

On a different track completely, have you looked for libvirt 0.8.7 packages for Ubuntu 9.10?  I'm thinking that if they exist, or if the version for latest Ubuntu could be recompiled, then that might be the better approach?  That would probably have all the scripts in the right spots, have user access in a "known state" and so forth. ?

Regards and best wishes,
