Hi Community,

I encountered an error while launching the virtual machine manger. I believe that all services have been started including libvirtd, xend, xencommons, etc. But not sure the reason about this error. Here is the error information:

Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 383, in <module>
    main()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 315, in main
    config = virtManager.config.vmmConfig(appname, appversion, glade_dir)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/config.py", line 96, in __init__
    self.conf.add_dir(self.conf_dir, gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE)

Does anyone have any ideas on this error?

Thanks in advance,
