Description Forgotten User WWATXcldtK 2007-09-08 12:12:00 UTC
Virtual Machine Manager throught Yast2 couldn't be started, as virt-manager
it works.

Was yast2 running in text (ncurses) mode?  If so, this is likely a duplicate of bug #243164.

I just verified that launching virt-manager from a graphical yast2 works for me.

In graphical mode.

I was running rc1 64bit and virt-manager ran fine.  I upgraded to final and suddenly it refused to load.  Figured maybe something went wrong in the upgrade so  I did a fresh install but still, no virtual manager through yast2 graphical.

ah, just found bugs 329032 and 329874 which seem to be the root of my specific problem
Comment 6 Alan Goodale 2007-10-08 02:44:57 UTC
I have the same problem.  I'm running x64 on AMD FX-72 quad.  When I enter "xm list", it reports that Dom0 is running, so I know that I have XEN installed and running ok.  But in Yast I can neither create virtual machines nor load the virtual machine manager.  Bug 329032 seems to indicate that libvirt.py was changed just before the release, and that reverting back to the previous version should get around the problem until a proper fix is found.  Can anyone tell me how I can find libvirt.py version 0.3.0-28?  Also, if you tell me where I can find the appropriate log files I will send you what mine show.


Comment 7 Rodney Wilder 2007-10-08 03:29:17 UTC
the older libvirt.py is still available at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/x86_64/

I have tested and it does appear to be working fine, though a proper official working version would be nice.
