Comment 18 for bug 551432

I have been doing some testing now and what i cannot comprehend is that when running virt-manager --debug i am able to create a new volume no issue. The problem seems to arise if you are not in debug mode. When in debug mode and choose new volume it seems like nothing is logged by the debugger.

Also tested this on an ubuntu 11.10 virtual machine running on virtual-box the application runs perfectly fine and doesn't lock up when selecting new volume, but on a non virtualized install unless in debug mode the application locks, nothing gets outputted to debug on the console.

NEW WORK AROUND FOR THOSE NOT RUNNING IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE.

If you must create a new volume run virt-manager with the --debug switch
