Bug 479517

Can you provide the /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log file, and the contents of /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.log

Some point in the stack must be messing up the character set conversion, causing loss of the accented characters in the path.

Here is the /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log fil:

I also see this behaviour.

Running virt-manager-0.6.0-5.fc10.i386 in a Portuguese localized system.

The iso path is /home/pedro/Área de Trabalho.

Traceback shown by virt-manager:
