I could not find virt-manager in the Applications list.

Assuming it has been installed, Applications -> System -> Virtualization -> Virtual Machine Manager

I tried launching it from terminal. I got an error saying that it needed root privileges.

When you do this, it prompts for the root password if it has been set up to auto connect to KVM (or Xen). If not set up that way, it just comes up in a 'Not Connected' state.

I tried launching sudo virt-manager from terminal. I got an error saying that dbus session does not exist (why is dbus needed anyway ?)

See http://virt-manager.org/dbusservice.html

I tried launching from a root shell (instead of a sudo), I get an error popup:

Error launching manager: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory

1. Make sure you have updated to the latest channel updates (libvirt, virt-manager, vm-install, kvm and xen if you are going to use xen). Running 'zypper up' should get everything. 2. Make sure libvirtd is running (rclibvirtd start if not)

P.S: I could not find a Virtualization or KVM component, so I am filing this under Kernel, please re-assign to any valid component.

I moved this to the Xen component even though you are using KVM. We need a KVM component and a Virtualization Tools component for 12.1 (and 12.2). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
