problem with virt-manager

07-31-2008, 07:55 PM

Running virt-manager on my Fedora 9 system
running kernel: 2.6.26-0.115.rc9.git2.fc10.x86_64 SMP

I get the following error:

gar xp]# virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 310,
in <module>

main()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 239,
in main

gtk.gdk.threads_init()
SystemError: error return without exception set

What prerequisites may be required that I might be missing?

I downloaded the source and loaded the debuging info.
strace provide the following:

I'm really not sure what could be causing this error. If
threads_init() is causing problems I'm inclined to say
it's not a virt-manager issue.

Have you only recently hit this problem? Or is this your
first time trying out the app?

I saw this yesterday on a new install, which had been upgraded to
Rawhide. That said, the packages seem to be the same as the F9 ones.

As the original poster is also running a Rawhide kernel, perhaps that's
part of the problem?

Hi,

I've managed to get virt-manager to run under rawhide (after the parted
problem was fixed), and can create the fake drive and install XP.

Only problem is that when XP does the reset after the first part of the
install, I get

Booting from Hard Disk...

A disk read error occurred.

Any ideas on this? I'm using the default settings for everything.

That would explain it. Any ideas on how to pass -hdc into virt-manager?
I have my virtual image on /dev/sdc1 (which replaces my
usual /home/paul/Documents directory)
