Comment 21 for bug 116897

I installed marceloshimas Packages, and wrote my comments on http://inhalt.serviert.de/wissen/gpl/xen/xen-installation-auf-ubuntu-7.10-gutsy-gibbon-amd64-virt-manager

There is a dependency missing, so you cannot start virt-manager or virt-install - you need to perform an aptitude install python-libxml2.

But then you got another error:

$ virt-install
libvir: Xen Daemon error : internal error failed to connect to xend
libvir: Xen Daemon error : internal error failed to connect to xend

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 123, in open
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed

I recently installed:
