When I start the virtual machine manager I get the following error:
Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.
Verify that: -A Xen host kernel was booted -The Xen service has been started
Details:
Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI ‘xen:///’:
<class ‘libvirt.libvirtError’> virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py”, line 325, in _open_thread

if ret is None:raise libvirtError(‘virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed’)
libvirtError: virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed
I’ve just setup 11.0 with Xen here getting the same results.
dmesg shows :
/usr/share/virt[5555] trap divide error ip:7f69c63c05ac sp:7fffdb0eb9a0 error:0 in libvirt.so.0.4.0[7f69c639f000+5e000]

Is this issue resolved yet? I installed xen yesterday and got exactly the same error message (Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen…).The updated libvirt seems to have no effect.
…but in order to even access Xen, you have to go through YaST, which requires a root logon. When I try to create a machine it reports “Hypervisor is not running.” I’ve an x86_64 and running a Xen kernel.

This might sound stupid but after installing xen through yast, have you actually rebooted into the xen kernel ? Hypervisor does not run if u boot into the normal kernel.
