I'm connecting to a remote Opensuse 11.1/Xen Dom0 box remotely, using nxclient.


i've installed,

rpm -qa | egrep "virt|xen|vm"
kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.7-9.1
kernel-xen-2.6.27.7-9.1
xen-tools-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8
yast2-vm-2.16.8-1.17
libvirt-python-0.4.6-11.1
virt-viewer-0.0.3-3.25
kernel-xen-extra-2.6.27.7-9.1
libvirt-0.4.6-11.1
vm-install-0.3.19-2.1
xen-libs-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8
virt-manager-0.6.0-6.1
xen-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8
...

Previously using VNC (now disabled), I was able to login as root and
run @KDE4, virt-manager without problem.

NX does not permit root login, so i'm logged in as a normal user.
unfortunately, @ virt-manager launch,

ps ax | grep -i virt
21665 ? S<s 0:01 python
/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py -c xen:///

I get a dialog:

VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER CONNECTIN MANAGER
Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.

Verify that:
- A Xen host kernel was booted
- The Xen service has been started

Detail:

reading @

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtPolicyKit
http://libvirt.org/auth.html

i've added to "/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf",

<match action="org.libvirt.unix.manage">
<match user="pg06">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>

<match action="org.libvirt.unix.monitor">
<match user="pg06">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>


now, @ virt-manager launch, i get a different failure,

VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER CONNECTIN MANAGER

Verify that:
- A Xen host kernel was booted

Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///':

None], flags)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 99, in openAuth
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: authentication failed


ideas @ next steps?

thanks.
