Description Panormitis Petrou 2016-01-19 08:01:40 UTC
Description of problem:
Install Xen and try to crate a virtual machine with virt-manager.
On hardware details -> Overview, you'll see: Emulator: /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386
However qemu-system-i386 doesn't exist, so the virtual machine won't work.
If I do: "dnf provides /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386" no suitable package can be found.

Temporary workaround:
cd /usr/lib/xen/bin
ln -s qemu-dm qemu-system-i386
