[virt-tools-list] vm shutoff soon after boot

[Wayne Mills]

Hi,

I'm using virt-manager and xen hypervisor to create a fullvirt VM using
Ubuntu 14.04 desktop ISO.  The install was successful, then during restart
the boot screen printed a few "OK" boot checklist messages, then appeared
to just sit there forever.

I remembered that the ISO was probably still mounted, so to eliminate that
as the issue, I changed the boot order to put Hard Drive first.  I now get
a grub boot screen and choose Ubuntu.  The screen goes blank, then briefly
displays some boot messages, the last being "Booting from Hard Disk".  Then
the console displays two grey message screens, in sequence:

   - Error: viewer connection to hypervisor host got refused or
   disconnected!
   - Guest not running

Sure enough, the virt-manager console shows the VM as "shutoff".

I'm new to virt-manager and VM creating in general, so would appreciate
advice on how to begin debugging this.  I did some googling and found a few
virt-manager threads, but nothing quite matched.

Thanks!
Wayne
