Hi Guys,
I have been following the doc at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora8VirtQuickStart to set up kvm.
(I first started with xen, but soon discovered the lack of nvidia
drivers for the xen kernel on domain 0 -- bring on F9!?)
Anyway I didn't get far. I have an error message that looks like this:
[root@localhost ~]# virsh -c qemu:///system list

** (process:6820): WARNING **: Error doing GetSessionForUnixProcess on

I don't have much of a clue as to what this is about (?). Perhaps
someone can give me a hint. I have a very vanilla install of F8 with a
dash of livna on a P4. Let me know if you need any more info.
The best I can do is a short list of things to check:
1 - do you have the hardware to run kvm? It needs hardware support in
the CPU.
2 - do you have the kvm-intel (or amd) module loaded and /dev/kvm?
3 - do you have permission to use the device?
4 - do you have the right kvm version loaded?
