Sorry, I am not familiar with virt-manager. Check the /etc/init.d/
script first for the necessary services. You did not get any errors on
compile, right?

Not having such support means that a simple apt-get might not work.  But you will not encounter any real problems there, Xen can be installed/compiled on almost all distros.
