I'm running xen on ubuntu 20.04 and I'm trying to create a new xen connection with virt-manager,but it does not work,because the error : "failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/-virtxend-sock. file or directory not found". I tried to do :

I tried also to do :

sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd

but I got the same result. what can I do ?

UPDATE :

root@ziomario-I9:/etc/xen# apt install libvirt-daemon-driver-xen

root@ziomario-I9:/etc/xen# sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

root@ziomario-I9:/etc/xen# systemctl status libvirtd

now the error is :

  • Hi @mark2020 checking a few common issues - do you have a related apparmor denial in dmesg? Furthermore that socket should only be needed if using split daemons for virtxend which Ubuntu doesn't use in 20.04. But maybe you miss the function - libvirt xen support is now a separate not default installed package - consider installing libvirt-daemon-driver-xen and then restarting libvirtd.

  • Hi @mark2020, since this seems to be the answer to this issue I converted it to an answer that you can +1. I have suggested ideas on the follow on issue already.

Checking a few common issues:

#1 do you have a related apparmor denial in dmesg? You'd in one console run dmesg -w and then on another start your guest. If the log gathered has any appamor ... DENIED ... messages check them and consider adding rules accordingly.

#2 Furthermore that socket should only be needed if using split daemons for virtxend which Ubuntu doesn't use in 20.04. But maybe you miss the function - libvirt xen support is now a separate not default installed package - consider installing libvirt-daemon-driver-xen and then restarting libvirtd.

apt install libvirt-daemon-driver-xen
systemctl restart libvirtd

  • refresh the page. It does not seems that the guest produced armor denials,but anyway,it still does not work.
