            Hello,

            I was able to get this imported for FreeBSD, but had to implement
            a couple of
            patches for it to work:

            https://svnweb.freebsd.org/__ports/head/deskutils/virt-__manager/files/patch-__virtManager_config.py?view=__markup&pathrev=372972
            <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/deskutils/virt-manager/files/patch-virtManager_config.py?view=markup&pathrev=372972>
            https://svnweb.freebsd.org/__ports/head/deskutils/virt-__manager/files/patch-__virtManager_console.py?view=__markup&pathrev=372972
            <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/deskutils/virt-manager/files/patch-virtManager_console.py?view=markup&pathrev=372972>

            This was taken obtained from:
            https://build.opensuse.org/__package/view_file/openSUSE:__Factory/virt-manager/virt-__manager-Gtk-30.patch#
            <https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/virt-manager/virt-manager-Gtk-30.patch#>

            And is reference by a bug here:
            https://bugzilla.suse.com/__show_bug.cgi?id=901869
            <https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901869>

            Comments and suggestions are welcome...


        Thanks for the heads up. I added a comment in that suse bug asking for
        the patch to be submitted upstream. But if that doesn't materialize in
        a week, ping back here

Any word?


Nope. And looking at the suse RPMs I see a ton of patches that they've never submitted upstream, some which are clear bug fixes... quite frustrating. I've attached their patch, can you try it locally and ensure it fixes your issues? If so I'll push it upstream

Thanks,
Cole


Works great. Thanks!

It is too bad that their patches aren't contributed back. My advice is use their patches (if they work) and note "Obtained from SUSE" in commitlogs. When their software build process breaks with the next update, they will look at the logs and find out why. This may encourage them to contribute more to the project :)

Thanks,
Jason
