Description Sven Lankes 2008-10-18 11:59:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

Creating a new virtual machine (install from iso, kvm i686) fails for me if I  change the "File Location" under Simple File in the "Assigning storage space" dialog to anything outside of '/var/lib/libvirt/images'.

Creating a symlink for /var/lib/libvirt/images to the desired destination works around this error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-manager-0.6.0-2.fc10.i386

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new virtual machine inside virt-manager
2. choose simple file-dir outside of /var/lib/libvirt/images/
3. choose forward
  
Actual results:

Error: Uncaught error validating input: local variable 'verr' referenced before assignment

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 303, in forward
    if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page()) != True):

Comment 1 John Ruemker 2008-10-20 04:25:44 UTC 
I get this error even when using the default path.  

python-virtinst-0.400.0-2.fc10.noarch

This corrected it for me:

Thanks for the patch, identical fix was already upstream. Building a new rawhide package now.
