virt-manager traceback if select an architecture on VM creation

[Jamie Strandboge]

Binary package hint: virt-manager

Steps to reproduce:

1. start virt-manager, connect to the 'localhost (System)', then click New
2. enter name of vm eg 'testme' and use local install media, click Forward
3. select an iso to use, with OS type Generic and Version Generic, click Forward
4. leave memory and CPUs as defaults, click Forward
5. enable storage for the VM, but don't allocate all of it now, click Forward
6. Click Advanced options, and choose an architecture, click Finish

While the VM starts, you do not get the VNC window like normal. Instead, you get the following:

Error bringing up domain details: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_driver'

Traceback (most recent call last):

You may have to first delete a VM before the above steps work.

This is a regression over 9.04, which has a different wizard for creating a vm. Tested using qemu/mips.

Jamie, is this still an issue with virt-manager in Lucid?

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

This is fixed in Lucid.
