Actually there are two problems I see there:

(1) You are trying to connect to the Host with xen+ssh. This will not work on Ubuntu until you set the root password (which is ugly of course), since virt-manager has the username "root" as username hardcoded in. Although you can specify a different user name, it will not work. The manual also outlines this briefly:

http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/RemoteSSH

And there is also a bug report available on this issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470416

To verify it's not a virt-manager problem, I would suggest to try connecting with virsh first. (i.e. virsh -c xen+ssh://hostname/system)

(2) I am getting the following error as well, when trying to connect using TLS/SSL to a 8.04 box where Xen is obviously working:

"libvirtError: virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed remoteDispatchClientRequest: internal error: library function returned error but did not set virterror"

This error message is not helpful at all. Any ideas?
