Creating the directory manually works around this issue so far. And I think I'm just ading that I see this when trying to run `virt-install' from console to. I just ssh-ed to my host and did the following: # virt-install --paravirt --name f20_64 --ram 2048 --vcpus 4 -f /dev/fedora_odyn/f20_64 --network bridge=virbr0 --location http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/20-Beta-TC1/Fedora/x86_64/os/ --graphics none And that's what I see: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.cache/virt-manager' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 1073, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 1036, in main cli.setupLogging("virt-install", options.debug, options.quiet) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/cli.py", line 158, in setupLogging os.mkdir(vi_dir, 0751) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.cache/virt-manager' Oh, and I also confirm that `mkdir -p /root/.cache/virt-manager' does the trick here too. *** Bug 1023425 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Seeing this on rawhide as well, virt-manager-0.10.0-4.git79196cdf.fc21.noarch XDG Base Directory Specification (Version 0.7) clearly states that if $XDG_CACHE_HOME is not defined, then a default equal to $HOME/.cache should be used to store user-specific data files. I think virt-manager should create that directory if it doesn't already exist, in the same way as "mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/virt-manager" does. patch accepted upstream:

virt-manager: prefer os.makedirs to os.mkdir when creating cache dir
Ensure the parent directories exist when attempting to create the
cache directory.
