RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description zhengqin 2014-04-11 06:43:31 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1086554 +++

Description of problem:
For Network Install VM, If you just input install url with "ftp://", the error message shows: "Unable to complete install: NoneType object has no attribute 'sendall'"

Version-Release number of selected component:
virt-manager-0.10.0-20.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start virt-manager.

2. Create a new vm by "Network Install" until "step 2 of 5" on New VM window, just input a install URL with "ftp://"

3. Forward the New VM window util "Step 5 of 5" window, and click "Finish" button



Actual result:
1. Error message shows: "Unable to complete install: NoneType object has no attribute 'sendall'", and this error is not clear.


Expected results:
1. An error will be shown if you input install url with "http://", "Unable to complete install: Invalid install location: Opening URL http:// failed"


Additional info:
1. This issue does not occur with install url "http://" or "nfs:"
2. If set a wrong ftp url eg:ftp://test, the error info is also unclear:Unable to complete install: '[Errno -2] Name or service not known'
3. This issue also occurs on latest rhel6u5.

Comment 1 zhengqin 2014-04-11 06:44:35 UTC

This issue also occurs on latest rhel6u5, 
Error info is not right and not clear when network install vm with url "ftp://",
so clone it.

it looks like a minor issue we can postpone to the next major release.
