Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): packages from rawvirt virt-manager-0.8.3-1.fc12.noarch libvirt-0.7.6-1.fc12.x86_64 qemu-common-0.12.3-4.fc12.x86_64 qemu-img-0.12.3-4.fc12.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.3-4.fc12.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-0.12.3-4.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open details dialog for running vm (kvm) 2. select cdrom device 3. choose a iso from pool Actual results: Informational dialog that change will be made on next vm restart Expected results: vm can access insert iso Additional info: going back to virt-manager-0.8.2-1.fc12.noarch solves the issue all other packages are still rawvirt using virt-manager from rawvirt and libvirt/qemu from f12 does not solve the issue.
This should be fixed by virt-manager 0.8.4 which should be in rawvirt. Closing as CURRENTRELEASE. If you can still reproduce with the latest packages, please reopen, and provide ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log.
I updated to latest 0.8.4. Virt-Manager connects DVD ISO file to running guest (XP) now and does not say changes will be made on next vm restart. "Apply" button is grayed out though. The XP guest does not indicate that a dvd has been inserted though. Clicking cdrom icon on XP guest, results in "Insert CD Now" message in XP. If I reboot guest with ISO connected, it sees the DVD, but if I eject it in XP and reconnect in virt-manager, XP does not notice it. Same results with a Fedora 12 guest. Host is Fedora 12 running: libvirt-0.7.7-2.fc12.x86_64 virt-viewer-0.2.1-1.fc12.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.500.2-1.fc12.noarch libvirt-python-0.7.7-2.fc12.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.7.7-2.fc12.x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.4-1.fc12.noarch qemu-kvm-0.12.3-6.fc12.x86_64 qemu-user-0.12.3-6.fc12.x86_64 qemu-0.12.3-6.fc12.x86_64 qemu-common-0.12.3-6.fc12.x86_64 I will attach ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log
Created attachment 404524 [details] virt-manager log during dvd rom iso swap See above bug report.
Sounds like this is a libvirt bug with latest qemu. Patch available for libvirt upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-April/msg00692.html Probably want to backport this to F13 if applicable.
