+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #749928 +++ 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 Plausible comments from the original bug: --- Additional comment from crobinso@redhat.com on 2012-01-24 19:22:49 EST --- *** Bug 755372 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** --- Additional comment from crobinso@redhat.com on 2012-01-24 22:36:10 EST --- 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. --- Additional comment from crobinso@redhat.com on 2012-01-25 10:45:35 EST --- 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. --- Additional comment from lists.kho@gmail.com on 2012-01-25 11:03:01 EST --- Hi Cole, The fix works :-) Great and Thanks, Martin Kho You can close this report? --- Additional comment from crobinso@redhat.com on 2012-01-25 11:39:42 EST --- Not yet, I haven't pushed the fix to fedora yet. When that happens I'll close the bug. --- Additional comment from crobinso@redhat.com on 2012-01-25 18:33:40 EST --- *** Bug 700560 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** --- Additional comment from updates@fedoraproject.org on 2012-02-01 12:06:01 EST --- virt-manager-0.9.1-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/virt-manager-0.9.1-1.fc16 --- Additional comment from updates@fedoraproject.org on 2012-02-02 12:30:47 EST --- Package virt-manager-0.9.1-1.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Hello, I cloned this BZ because this issue is reproducible on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 Beta. Package version: virt-manager-0.9.0-11.el6.x86_64.rpm Reproducible steps: The steps described on the original bug are applicable, but you can also experience problems when you try to create a new volume during the VM creation: 1. Open virt-manager 2. Click "new" 3. Give it a name, set PXE as the boot source 4. OS: linux, variety: 5.6 or later 5. defaults for RAM and CPUs 6. "Select managed or other existing storage" radio button 7. Click "browse" 8. Select an LVM volume group storage pool created previously 9. Click "new volume" The changes proposed by Cole Robinson fix the problems with dialogs/top level windows: --- Additional comment from crobinso@redhat.com on 2012-01-25 10:45:35 EST --- 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.
I noticed this yesterday after upgrading to RHEL 6.3 with virt-manager-0.9.0-14.el6.x86_64... when I try to add an .iso to an existing CD device it won't open up a dialog. The work around is to delete the CD device and make a new one and while doing so, associate an .iso to it.
