[xenpreview-dev] virt-manager problems

[Lynn Bendixsen]

Hi Sue,

We do not have a fix for the missing virt-manager entry until Beta 3 and it will be at least Beta 4 before the "bunch of messages" is cleaned up.

I was seeing the problems you saw with virt-manager not starting and I seem to remember that rebooting Dom0 fixed the problem but it may just be best for you to go and get our latest bits and try with those.  There are a lot of tool fixes in the new bits and we expect Beta 3 to be much better than Beta 2.

New bits that are close to the ones in Beta 3 are here:
