Hello Guido,

as mentioned no guest is running. This is the output of virsh:

$ sudo virsh list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------

When starting the systems the pools are created via the xml files.
Hence virsh can only show these pools:

$ sudo virsh pool-list
 Name                 State      Autostart
-------------------------------------------
 default              active     yes
 Downloads            active     yes
 tmp                  active     yes

So virsh does not show any hint what the problem is.

Best regards
