Unable to connect to xend with Virt Manager

When you install xen with the default settings and try to connect to the Xen hypervisor with virt-manager You might get the following error message :

Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon. Verify that
- a xen host kernel was booted
- the xen service has been started

2. Restart xend to apply the new configuration:
xend restart
