Description Deependra Singh Shekhawat 2008-11-13 15:08:13 UTC

Description of problem:
Hi, virt-manager in fedora 9 segfaults when a iso file is specified as installation media during vm creation wizard.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.5.4-5.fc9.i386
glibc-2.8-8.i686
libvirt-0.4.6-2.fc9.i386
kernel-2.6.27.5-32.fc9.i686
kvm-72-3ovirt4.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Start virt-manager with kvm-intel loaded and libvirtd running. Create a virtual machine with hardware virtualization and hypervisor as kvm. Then specify ISO installation media (radio button). Select Linux and Redhat Enterprise Linux 5. Next step in the wizard ask you to tell the path to the ISO file. Select Browse.

It segfaults with the below error message:-

(virt-manager.py:9521): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
sys:1: Warning: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed

(virt-manager.py:9521): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed

(virt-manager.py:9521): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: (gfile.c:5249):IA__g_file_load_partial_contents_finish: runtime check failed: (g_simple_async_result_get_source_tag (simple) == g_file_load_contents_async)
Segmentation fault


Any more info if needed can be provided. This is latest updated fedora 9 machine.

Thanks

Hmm, are you still seeing this issue? My guess is, it isn't virt-manager specific.

If you are still seeing this, can you try the following from the command prompt

ulimit -c unlimited
virt-manager
<do whatever it takes to segfault>
gdb -c core.xxx
at the gdb prompt, type 'bt' and paste the output

And also attach the ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for a late reply but I should say that I am not anymore encountering this issue. So closing this bug is appropriate I suppose.

Thanks.

Okay, it was probably an issue in some other piece of the stack. Closing as CURRENTRELEASE.
