If anyone has virt-manager related question, please feel free to join the
public 'et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx' mailing list where all the virt-related
management tools projects we're involved in live.

The only Fedora specific bit in virt-manager is the bit of the 'create
new vm' wizard for para-virt guests, in that it expects to fetch the
file 'images/xen/vmlinuz' off the HTTP site for the distro - other
distros don't lay stuff out in the same way so you won't be able to
install non-Fedora paravirt guests. Full virt guests should 'just work',
and it should still run on any Dom0 OS. I know people have used it on
both Debian and Solaris without too much trouble. I'm adding support for
installing SuSE paravirt guests, and think I might have figured out how
to do Debian too.

Yep, wrt to the error message in the original thread, it probably means that
XenD is not listening on the expected socket. Make sure you have
(xend-unix-server yes)'
In the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file. As a good sanity check for correct
XenD config, you can run 'virsh list' from the command line. If that works,
then virt-manager should also work. Also, virt-manager has a log file in
$HOME/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log which may have more detailed diagnostics.

Dan.
