Description David Bensimon 2008-10-21 15:43:22 UTC
Description of problem:

Installed kvm and virt-manager using the instructions found here:
http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Installing_and_Configuring_Fedora_KVM_Virtualization

Using virt-manager in an attempt to create an XP VM, I get to the final configuration step and when I press OK, i get the following error:

Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.UnboundLocalError'> local variable 'verr' referenced before assignment
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 722, in do_install

Steps to Reproduce:
$ su -
$ yum install kvm qemu virt-manager
$ virt-manager
(Enter Password)
New VM - Default/ WinXP/4G HDD/512RAM/1CPU
OK -> Error: Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.UnboundLocalError'> local variable 'verr' referenced before assignment
  

Actual results:
Error

Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.UnboundLocalError'> local variable 'verr' referenced before assignment


Expected results:
VM Creation


Notes/Observations
I would like to know if I missed a step in setup or if this is in fact a bug. I do not see any groups relating to virtualization. Looking at some instructions I used when installing an older version of virt-manager on Ubuntu, I had to  also install package 'vde2' and add myself to the groups kvm, libvirtd and vde2-net.

Hi, this is already fixed with the latest python-virtinst version in rawhide. Please see the bug this will be duped as.
