    Virtual Machine Manager

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up a Windows Vista virtual machine on my Fedora 11 box. I have installed Virtual Machine Manager 0.7.0 and have a working DVD containing vista. After completing the set up and pressing finish I get the following errors:
    Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open monitor device 'pty'

    Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open monitor device 'pty'

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1501, in do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 541, in start_install
    return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 633, in _do_install
    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
    File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 974, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self)
    libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open monitor device 'pty'
    How would i remedy this problem?

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Ben
