           Summary: virt-manager run as user - unhelpful ...
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Factory
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Xen
        AssignedTo: cgriffin@xxxxxxxxxx

I run virt-manager as a user on a Xen booted kernel, and it gives me this
message:

"Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.

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

with some detailed python exception from virConnectOpenReadOnly
(/tmp/livirt_proxy_conn)

anyhow - I run the same command as the root user; and bingo life is good.

Strangely - then I re-run the same command as an unpriviledged user, and I get
a new UI: "Host details" - strangely, this shows (apparently) no useful
information, and is rather broken: none of the keybindings eg. alt-F for 'File'
work and while it re-draws (ie. it's main-loop is running), it seems completely
un-responsive :-)

So - this was not obvious behavior: help appreciated unwinding what should
happen here.
