Comment 2 for bug 615077

Oops, forgot to say. I'm running this from virt-manager and the exact text of the chardev error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 814, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1286, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev'
