Great.

Ok, that's a very odd situation - virsh is saying port 5900 is where the
VNC server is (which sounds plausible), but virt-manager is trying to
connect to 5902 (which sounds like old, hardcoded port behaviour).

Could you tell me what version of kernel-xen, xen, libvirt & virt-manager
RPMs you have installed in the host.

If you close the console window & re-open it, I assume it still fails
to connect again, with same error message in the logs ?

Ok, that's good - so port 5900 is definitely the desired port.

Oh, are you running 'virsh' and 'virt-manager' as root, or a normal user ?

Regards,
Dan.
