Bug Description
I use Virt-Manager + Xen tu run a little development server for a few LUG projects. The server is trivial i386 PC without Hardware Virtualisation support. Ru run Virtual Machines i use Network install option and unable to finish instalation becouse all NetInstall kernel images from ubuntu repo do not use graphic.
Virt-Manager 0.9.1 have an option "View -> Text Console -> Text Console 1", but when i choose it it says "Error connecting ro text console: Cannot open a device with no alias name".
You can see on Screen Shot that if I execute command "xm console test-server" on the Xen server I able to see output of installing system!
I found exactly tha same problem on Novel's bugzilla. And looks like they solved a problem. May be it'll help:

I only use xen DomU devices without a graphical interface only a console.
Via virt-manager I cant connect to the console.
The warning I see it:
Error connecting to text console:
Cannot open a device with no alias name
When I connect via:
xm console <name>, there isn't a problem at all.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a DomU device with only a console via virt-manager
2. Open the console
3. No screen output is shown. The following warning is displayed.
