[Bug 665900] [NEW] virt-manager: cannot parse QEMU version number in

[Joni Lahtinen]

Public bug reported:

I installed fresh 10.04 and started immediately trying to setup virtual machine. Haven't get much progress yet. This error comes when I try virt-manager:
Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error cannot parse QEMU version number in ''
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1436, in do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/Guest.py", line 660, in start_install
    return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/Guest.py", line 758, in _do_install
    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1097, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: internal error cannot parse QEMU version number in ''
'

I think this could fail for the same (unknown) reason that my vmbuilder does:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/vmbuilder", line 24, in <module>
    cli.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 121, in main
    hypervisor.finalise(destdir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/hypervisor.py", line 78, in finalise
    self.call_hooks('deploy', destdir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/distro.py", line 66, in call_hooks
    call_hooks(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/util.py", line 158, in call_hooks
    getattr(plugin, func, log_no_such_method)(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/plugins/libvirt/__init__.py", line 83, in deploy
    self.conn.defineXML(vmxml)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1120, in defineXML
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainDefineXML() failed', conn=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: server closed connection
