Hey Jim,
I'm on libvirt.git's trunk and I see the following: [xen@ghoul3 libvirt.git]$ sudo ./tools/virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 3 debian_32 running 4 fedora20_64 running

Looking at libxlDomainOpenConsole() in src/libxl/libxl_driver.c, it currently only supports a serial console. Do you have one defined in these domains? E.g.
If this is the root cause, it's a pretty bad error message. Should I or Dario take a look at the libvirt code to see if we can improve it ? Ian.
