7 a.m.
I can't find the reason for the following error:
# virsh
libvir: error : could not connect to xen:///
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
# virsh -c ///var/lib/xend/xend-socket
libvir: error : could not connect to ///var/lib/xend/xend-socket
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
# lsof|grep xend-socket
python 3655 root 18u unix 0xffff88001edce340 11774 /var/lib/xend/xend-socket
system:
Debian etch on amd64
Xen version 3.2.0 (compiled from sources)
Linux 2.6.21 (patched Sources from redhat git)
libvirtd and xend are running, `xm list` etc works fine
# virsh -v
0.4.0
(installed from etch-backports)
Output from `strace -s 1024 -f virsh list --all` is here:
http://krohnjob.de/files/virsh.strace
Can't see the reason for the above mentioned error in there...
Kind regards,
Felix Krohn

Really strange. Is xen configured as a backend
(ie. ./configure --without-xen or something like that?)
You can also run with debugging enabled, if you configured that:
LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
which will print a lot more useful info. (We should really enable
debugging support in configure by default ...)

We do enable it by default now since 0.4.1

Since I was using the version from etch-backports
(http://packages.qa.debian.org/libv/libvirt.html) I don't think so.
I got it working now with libvirt 0.4.1 and both Xen 3.1.4-rc1 and
3.2.0, all self-compiled.
Perhaps I should rather have filed a bug at backports.org then...
You can also run with debugging enabled, if you configured that:
LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
The Debian package obviuosly doesn't have debugging-support compiled
in, so I don't get more output.
Don't know if this makes a difference, but ARCH is x86_64.
Thanks for your answer!
Kind regards,
Felix Krohn

libvirt was compiled without Xen in Debian for some time because the
requisite Xen headers were missing. However that should have been
fixed months ago.
Currently (libvirt 0.4.0-6) the logic is:
ifneq (,$(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), i386 amd64))
BUILD_XEN=--with-xen
LDFLAGS += -lpthread
else
BUILD_XEN=--without-xen
endif
because Xen itself is only ported to a subset of platforms.
Don't know if this makes a difference, but ARCH is x86_64.

You can backport the package yourself:
1) download the .tar.gz, the .diff.gz and the .dsc
2) dpkg-source -x file.dsc
3) go into the dir
4) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
If dependency problems arise and you don't want to pollute your system
installing those packages, replace step 4 with:
4a) debuild -S -sa
4b) sudo pbuilder build ../file.dsc
But you need to have installed pbuilder and have run pbuilder create
before 4b (pbuilder is an UML environment which downloads all the
dependencies, builds the packages and stores them usually in
/var/cache/pbuilder/result )

The version
on backports.org doesn't even have xen support enabled due
to the missing libxen in Debian Lenny and Etch at that point - I tried
to make that obvous from the changelog but obviously failed.
There's now a libxenstore on backports.org since recently, so the new
packages on backports.org will have xen support.

The Debian package obviuosly doesn't have debugging-support
compiled
in, so I don't get more output.
The LIBVIRT_DEBUG stuff isn't available in
libvirt as of 0.4.0 so this
is expected, the debug build is as easy as passing DEB_BUILD_OPTS=debug
to the build though.

D'oh! Or I didn't read it...

OK, good to know.
Thanks for your informations!
