Re: Virtual Machine Manager (gui)

On SuSU 10.3

After installing numerous updates and a reboot, the
Virtual Machine Manager won't start. No errors no
messages. I had a similar problem when first setting
update XEN on a boot of the NON-XEN kernal.

Xen is working as I can launch the second machine via
the XM commands. Unfortunately the guest domain is
a virtual windows-xp-64 OS and I need to launch the
graphical console.

Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

An Update.

I forced a reinstall of virtual machine manager and rebooted, no
help.

I used the create virtual machines and used the images
to create a new entry. It has launched the virtual machine using
TightVNC and is usable. I have a feelling though that when I
shutdown the VM, I'll be in the same boat.

I can live the emulation window in TIGHTVNC if i could create
a shortcut Icon to launch without having to go through the
create virutal machines entry.

Are there log/error files for the Graphical Virtual Machine
Manager? or even a man page? Am I the only one to ever have
this issue? Am I the only one using XEN in 10.3?

I'll look into it deeper when I have time. I wish I knew
what update created my issue. I've been lucky up to this
point with the updates. I'm starting to feel like I'm
running a version of windows though.

any insight would be welcome.

thanks,
bob.
