Created attachment 530747 [details] virt-manager.log Description of problem: In virt-manager an ISO-file can be connected to IDE CDROM 1 with a Connect button. But this button is doing nothing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.9.0-6.fc16.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a VM (Open button) 2. Go to Details (Show Virtual Hardware Details) 3. Go to IDE CDROM 1 4. Press Connect button (In F15 a dialog box opens, in F16 this fails) Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: A dialog box opens where I can select an ISO-file. Additional info: I've looked in .xsession-errors, virt-manager.log. Nothing is in there :-(. For your reference I'll attach virt-manager.log
This bug is also affecting me. The dialog where you can select the iso pops open for a fraction of a second and disappears... never to return... and I made sure it wasn't obscured by any other windows.
I was able to make it work again by deleting the IDE CDROM device and then creating a new one... and during the creation process... selecting the desired .iso file. If I disconnect the .iso added during device creation then I'm no longer able to connect another iso and the previous problem happens again... but at least there is this work around.
I too have noticed an issue with mounting CDROM on KVM guests on Fedora 16. I appears to be more than just a virt-manager issue. I have tried to mount via the libvirt interface as well. The command works correctly in Fedora 15: virsh attach-disk guest1 /vol1/disk.iso hdc --mode readonly --driver file --type cdrom Result: Disk attached successfully This same command fails in Fedora 16, fully patched as of 12/14/11: virsh attach-disk guest1 /vol1/disk.iso hdc --mode readonly --driver file --type cdrom Result: error: Failed to attach disk error: unsupported configuration: unsupported driver name 'file' for disk '/vol1/disk.iso' I have also tried editing the xml config and running virsh update-device with roughly the same error: error: Failed to update device from /vol1/guest1/guest1.xml error: XML error: unknown device type
Hello, I have the same symptom: no dialog box appears when I click the "Connect" button on an IDE cdrom of an existing virtual machine. It is working in virt-manager 0.8.7 but not anymore in 0.9.0 . Another observation: when I SSH my server from another computer, then run the virt-manager (so that the manager is itself running on the server, but displayed on a remote computer - I do not run the manager on the remote computer), then it seems to work. Even without a remote computer, you can even try something like "ssh localhost virt-manager" (with X11 forwarding enabled in SSH), it solves the problem on most of my virtual machines (alas it does not work 100%, some VM still have the problem randomly). So it looks like it's just a display problem (X11 ? GTK ?) I guess Matt's problem explained above is a different problem than Martin, Scott and Myself.
Sorry guys ignoring this for so long. Unfortunately I can't reproduce. I'm using gnome shell FWIW, what is everyone else using? Gnome 3 fallback, kde, lxde? The fact that the window is appearing and then disappearing makes me wonder if this is desktop environment related.

I can try a different desktop to see if changing desktop changes anything. Will have to try it tomorrow at work though as I don't have a KVM enabled machine at home.
Scott, don't worry about it, I reproduced the issue in a KDE vm before it crashed :) so I'm pretty sure it's KDE (or at least non-gnome-shell) specific. I'll investigate tomorrow what I can do to fix this in virt-manager.
Fixed upstream now: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=5efe079158b7b6e1fb9e8fcc00af8b27a08dbde3 If any one wants to do the fix by hand, edit /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/choosecd.py and change the only occurence of topwin.show() to topwin.present() The dialog will flicker once, but click the 'choose' button again and it will show up from then on.
Hi Cole, The fix works :-) Great and Thanks, Martin Kho You can close this report?
Not yet, I haven't pushed the fix to fedora yet. When that happens I'll close the bug.
