You can double check that with something like: $ ps aux | grep xend or: # service xend status Although, I''m not sure the latter will work, considering you''re not using any Fedora RPM/SRPM...> So in summary, > Built and installed from source Xen 4.1.5, on Fedora 17. > Can boot into Xen Dom0, xm works, xend running, But virt-manager > unable to connect to Xen! >As I said, I''m really short in ideas/experience, sorry. Something I would probably try is: - uninstalling your built version of Xen - installing Fedora 17''s Xen packages - try libvirt with them That would at least tell us more about where --if not what-- the issue could be.
