This has newly started, so I am presuming that it is perhaps related to some recently updated package on F8 in say the last week or so. I have a WindowsXP DomU that when I try to start from virt-manager gives the following error: Error starting domain: virDomainCreate() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err ''int argument required'') Details shows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 472, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 379, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 240, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError (''virDomainCreate() failed'', dom=self) libvirtError: virDomainCreate() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err ''int argument required'') I have no idea what other information to supply or where to particularly find it since this has generally "just worked" for the occasional running of a Windows instance that I have needed for the last several months. Thanks for any help, --Rob
Hi Robert, Were you able to solve this issue? I am running into the same problem and would appreciate any advice.

Not sure if I am much help, but the issue did "go away".... Couple of things. I have noticed several "updates" to virt-manager and libvirt. I did have to "manually" kick it off, and once I did that, it seems to be "keeping on". By manual, I mean, I had to create a .xml file and use xm create to start it once (messed up my mouse until I figured out the correct setting in the .xml), but after that it kept going and would start from the GUI....
