The version installed on my system # zypper info python-virtinst Information for package python-virtinst: Repository: @System Name: python-virtinst Version: 0.600.3-4.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 2.0 MiB Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. YAST > Virtualization > Create Virtual Machines 2. Configure your new machine, add an ISO as a CDROM Actual Results: You will see an error "file or directory not found" Expected Results: VM Installer should continue and create a new VM Example: If you browse to the following location for your ISO image /usr/ISO/foobar.iso Before leaving the "Add CDROM" and applying changes, doublecheck the path, you will see the following incorrect path phy:/root//usr/ISO/foobar.iso Am assigning this a "Normal" bug although I believe for practically anyone encountering this problem for the first time, it's a show-stopper. But, as I've described the workaround is also trivial but you need to know to do it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
