Description Toni Willberg 2011-03-17 10:44:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

 Cannot install guest OS from DVD if the DVD was already mounted. Virt-manager doesn't show the DVD device.
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 virt-manager-0.8.4-8.el6.noarch

How reproducible:

 Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. insert a CD/DVD (I used Windows 2008 R2 installation DVD)
 2. ensure it's automatically mounted (default behaviour on desktop)
 3. start virt-manager
 4. start new guest wizard, try to install from DVD
  
Actual results:

 CD/DVD device not shown at all, no error/explanation provided to user.

Expected results:

 CD/DVD device shown always. If mounted, virt-manager should give option to unmount and use that device.

Additional info:

 My CD device appears as /dev/sr0. USB-connected SONY device.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:15:07 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2011-04-07 19:46:12 UTC 
Hmm, I can't reproduce.

Running as root or a regular user? Aren't using a remote connection, correct?

Are you inserting the cdrom after starting virt-manager? If so does restarting the app help?

Does unmounting the CDROM and restarting virt-manager make any difference?

Please provide the output of virt-manager --debug when reproducing the issue
Comment 5 Toni Willberg 2011-04-08 07:01:56 UTC 
Seems that I also cannot reproduce this anymore. virt-manager is still in same version.

Not sure what if anything in my setup has changed.

Tried as root and non-root.

Closing as notabug.
