Description of problem: virt-manager fails to show an error message when a pci device doesn't work and the VM failes to start. This is the error message generated from the command line. # virsh start win7pro-cli5 error: Failed to start domain win7pro-cli5 error: internal error: Invalid device 0000:83:00.0 driver file /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:83:00.0/driver is not a symlink Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 19 with the virt-preview repository enabled. libvirt: 1.1.3-2.fc19.x86_64 virt-manager: virt-manager-0.10.0-4.git79196cdf.fc19 uname: 3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 10 14:11:18 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Always Actual results: virt-manager doesn't print error message. Expected results: error message stating that vm failed to start and the output regarding why. A message like this perhaps: error: internal error: Invalid device 0000:83:00.0 driver file /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:83:00.0/driver is not a symlink Additional info: Prior to upgrading to virt-preview I was getting messages about not being able to do a bus reset. I created a bug report about vfio issues #1020326
Hmm, I can't reproduce here, VM startup errors are reported correctly. Can you reproduce with virt-manager --debug, and attach all the output here?
I updated this morning and it appears to be working for me as well. I'll close it.
