Binary package hint: virt-manager

1)
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:	10.04

2)
  Installiert: 0.8.2-2ubuntu8
  Kandidat: 0.8.2-2ubuntu8
  Versions-Tabelle:

3) I expected to can use a old parallel dongle (on parallel port) in my
guest system (Win XP)

4) When I add my parallel port (I'm not sure if it is /dev/lp0 or /dev/parport0) I can't boot the guest system and get the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 588, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 150, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused

The dongle is connected to the parallel port and libvirt-qemu has the
permission to use this port. I've looked this issue up in google for
hours, but didn't find much.

I'm not sure if this is a real bug, but to my mind it's at least a
"strange behavior" of virt mangater/qemu/kvm.
