I get similar messages when I use virsh -c vbox:///session It just tells you that it failed to connect to libvirtd while it was searching for an interface and node driver. This is okay. The connection can be used without those drivers. Matthias 2010/4/1 angelo alfano <angeloalfa76@yahoo.it>:
I have installed virtualbox 3.0.14 and libvirt 0.7.0, error:

Ah, sorry, I missed to mention that VirtualBox 3.1 support was added in libvirt 0.7.5.
libvirt 0.7.0 supports VirtualBox 2.2 and 3.0.

conn = libvirt.open("vbox:///session")
return this error:
libvir: VBOX error : internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API Traceback (most recent call last): File "prova.py", line 5, in <module> conn = libvirt.open("vbox:///session") File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 163, in open if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API
why?
This error basically says, that libvirt doesn't support your VirtualBox version.
What libvirt and VirtualBox version do you use?
Matthias
libvirt 0.7.0 virtualbox 3.2
Angelo
libvirt currently supports up to VirtualBox 3.1 and needs to be updated to support 3.2.
I've CCed the VirtualBox driver maintainer.
