RE: [Fedora-xen] virt-manager gives "The console is currently unavailable" in FC6
I built Xen the way the README specifies. So although FC6 is 2.6.18, I get it built against 2.6.16.29 So uname -a yields 2.6.16.29-xen. I have kernel-xen version as this My xen version is xen-3.0.3-rc3 src rpm that comes with FC6. I installed libvirt-0.1.7-2.i386.rpm (again this comes with FC6). Virt-manager version is 0.2.3 from the About button of the GUI. I always login as root in these machines. When I tried it again this time , I still get same results.

Could you tell me what version of kernel-xen, xen, libvirt & virt-manager RPMs you have installed in the host. If you close the console window & re-open it, I assume it still fails to connect again, with same error message in the logs ?> In the /etc/xen/xen_FC5G1, I do have vnc=1 and vncunused=1.Ok, that''s good - so port 5900 is definitely the desired port. Oh, are you running ''virsh'' and ''virt-manager'' as root, or a normal user ?
