Description of problem: Following the update to latest versions of xen and libvirt, gnome-applet-vm can't connect to the hypervisor any more. Virt-Manager still works as it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vm_applet 0.1.2-2.fc7 xen 3.1.2-1.fc8 libvirt 0.4.0-2.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update to current xen and libvirt via yum 2. add gnome-applet-vm to panel Actual results: applet displays a "failed to connect to hypervisor" tooltip Expected results: applet should be able to connect Additional info: In /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp the unix server is enabled: (xend-unix-server yes) Before the update, using the following versions xen 3.1.0-13.fc8 and libvirt 0.3.3-2.fc8 the applet caused abnormal behaviour of xen: after shutting down any domU they still show up with an ID and memory allocated in both xm list/virt-manager, but apparently they actually are shut down. At least gnome-applet-vm recognized them as such. xm destroy would not work, only a xend restart would reset this. In the log there was an error message which looks very much like and also reflects the symptoms described here: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-09/msg00108.html Maybe this info can help crack down on why the applet can't connect to xen in the way it does any more.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
