[Bug 556698] New: virt-manager's New VM button does nothing
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556698#c0 Summary: virt-manager's New VM button does nothing Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alext@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- When running virt-manager and pressing the "New VM" button, or selecting "New..." from a right-click menu on an open hypervisor connection for kvm, vmm asks for authentication via an Authenticate panel (since this is a system qemu connection), however once authenticated, nothing happens. I notice that the virt-install package (as per python-virtinstall on fc) does not exist for os11.2. If I run vm-install from the commandline (installed from the vm-install package), a vm installation panel pops up and I am able to create a functional kvm vm this way. If the omission of virt-install is intentional, then there seems to be a disconnect between virt-manager and vm-install, forcing first knowing to actually run vm-install instead of virt-install and second, for having to run it by hand. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ah, yes, executing virt-manager as root does in fact make the New button work. Thanks.
Upgrading to os11.3 provides a newer version of virt-manager that prompts for root authentication. There are no plans to backport this feature / version to os11.2. Marking as fixed in os11.3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
