Hi, moving to python component because virt-manager itself cannot crash with SIGBUS.  I'm not sure whether it's python issue or some of the others libraries like gtk+ or glib.

Comment 3 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2016-03-18 09:31:35 UTC
Hello,
Can you get a core dump (or better, an ABRT report) from the crash?

Comment 4 Mauro Mozzarelli 2016-03-18 09:37:37 UTC
Please see related bug:
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8525

Plenty of reports. My bug manager also posted automatically several core dumps.

Comment 5 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2016-03-18 10:49:00 UTC
According to the backtrace [0], the crash happens deep in a glib/GTK/GDK call, in a pygi_closure, so I think the pygobject experts have more luck debugging this.

If it turns out to be a Python bug or any Python-specific knowledge is needed, let me know.
