Description of problem: I have virt-manager running on an x86 laptop, but connecting to (amongst other things) a ppc64le qemu/kvm host. With this host selected, clicking the install button gives a dialog with most options unavailable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-1.1.0-5.git310f6527.fc21.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a connection to virt-manager with a qemu+ssh URL referring to a ppc64le host machine. 2. Select this connection 3. Click the "Create a new virtual machine" bitton Actual results: The first screen of the new VM wizard appears, but only the "Import existing disk" option is available. The "Local install media", "Network install" and "Network boot" options are greyed out. Expected results: All normal install options available. Additional info:
Thanks for the report, fixed upstream now: commit 68a11727a49f7c07bc3fbf14a71b65edb53a8dd7 Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso> Date: Wed Apr 8 09:31:07 2015 -0400 create: Show proper install options for ppc64le (bz 1209720)
What's the likely progression from upstream fix to Fedora? I'm guessing at this stage it would probably end up in Fedora 23?
I was planning on backporting to f21+

I downloaded and tried virt-manager-1.1.0-7.git310f6527.fc21. The missing install options are now available. However, I'm unable to proceed with the install, due to a similar error to that in bug 1209723 comment 7. Upon cliking the "Finish" button at the end of the install wizard, an error message pops up: Error starting installation: global name 'logging' is not defined Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1781, in finish self.customize(guest) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1813, in customize self.config_window = vmmDetails(virtinst_guest, self.topwin) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 399, in __init__ self.init_details() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 784, in init_details domcaps = self.vm.get_domain_capabilities() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 513, in get_domain_capabilities self.get_xmlobj()) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/domcapabilities.py", line 103, in build_from_guest guest.emulator, guest.os.arch, guest.os.machine, guest.type) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/domcapabilities.py", line 92, in build_from_params logging.debug("Error fetching domcapabilities XML", NameError: global name 'logging' is not defined
Sorry, messed up the backport. Fixed build coming shortly
