Description of problem: Uncaught error validating install parameters: cannot stat file '/home/dgilbert/Blahblah-x_Ethernet_Dual_SFP+_Port_Adapter_Card_User_Manual.pdf': No such file or directory (slightly obfuscated name). That file used to exist in my home directory this morning, but I mv'd it into my ~/Documents - but it should never have been associated with VM storage, and anyway why would a missing file I'm not using in my VM stop creation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-common-1.0.0-2.fc20.noarch virt-manager-1.0.0-2.fc20.noarch How reproducible: seems 100% - but not sure how it got to this state, see below Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new VM on local machine, selecting a local ISO and local storage 2. hit forward at end of stage 4 Actual results: Uncaught error validating install parameters: cannot stat file '/home/dgilbert/Blahblah-x_Ethernet_Dual_SFP+_Port_Adapter_Card_User_Manual.pdf': No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1397, in validate return self.validate_storage_page() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1638, in validate_storage_page if self.addstorage.validate_disk_object(ret) is False: File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/addstorage.py", line 360, in validate_disk_object names = disk.is_conflict_disk() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/devicedisk.py", line 863, in is_conflict_disk read_only=self.read_only) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/devicedisk.py", line 380, in path_in_use_by for vol in conn.fetch_all_vols() if vol.backing_store) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/connection.py", line 237, in fetch_all_vols return self.cb_fetch_all_vols() # pylint: disable=E1102 File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 178, in <lambda> for obj in pool.get_volumes(refresh=False).values()]) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 141, in get_xmlobj xml = self._get_raw_xml(inactive, refresh_if_nec) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 197, in _get_raw_xml self.refresh_xml() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 160, in refresh_xml self._xml = self._XMLDesc(self._active_xml_flags) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/storagepool.py", line 44, in _XMLDesc return self._backend.XMLDesc(flags) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2697, in XMLDesc if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virStorageVolGetXMLDesc() failed', vol=self) libvirtError: cannot stat file '/home/dgilbert/Blahblah-3_Ethernet_Dual_SFP+_Port_Adapter_Card_User_Manual.pdf': No such file or directory Expected results: an installing vm Additional info:
Thanks for the report, fixed upstream now: commit f67df117017e6de855a8c0e900e47fe920dfaa48 Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso> Date: Thu Feb 27 13:16:21 2014 -0500 vmm connection: Handle missing storage volumes (bz 1070883) Similar to what was done in a808bd669293ac66047a716b2e84a5a64c99667b for the virtinst connection wrapper.
