Bug Description
If a machine CDROM is connected to an ISO file, and the file is deleted in the meantime, the machine refuses to start, giving following error message:
Error starting domain: Unable to allow access for disk path /home/someuser/
No such file or directory
This shows as fatal error (there is only a "Close" button that will cancel starting), which is pretty confusing: such trivial thing as missing CD should not prevent whole machine from starting.
Please see screen-shot for illustration.
STR:
0 - Have a guest machine with CDROM and an "ISO file" on host machine (any, even
empty file will suffice)
1 - Connect guest's CDROM to the file (you will need to select "Browse Local"
to get standard file-browsing dialog)
2 - (probably optional) Start the machine and turn it off
3 - Delete the ISO file
4 - Try to start the machine again
> result: error message is shown and machine refuses to start
* oracle: either it should be possible to ignore the fact
or the message should only appear as a pop-up warning
