Hello List, I've just recently upgraded with an Syu which included an upgrade from virt-manager 0.10.0-3 to 0.10.0.-4. This update seems to have pulled libvirt-python into the mix which from what I can tell was not there before or was not a separate package. (version 1.2.0-1-x86_64). My first attempt to update failed with the warning: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) libvirt-python: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.pyc exists in filesystem I moved the file to my home directory and tried to install again. Update seamed to work but when I start virt-manager, I cannot connect to the localhost libvirtd and the daemon seems to be running fine: [/var/cache/pacman/pkg 2907 $ sudo systemctl status libvirtd libvirtd.service - Virtualization daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2013-12-05 20:15:02 PST; 11s ago Main PID: 6466 (libvirtd) CGroup: /system.slice/libvirtd.service |-1194 /sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf `-6466 /usr/bin/libvirtd -p /var/run/libvirtd.pid Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: reading /etc/resolv.conf Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53 Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: using nameserver 8.8.4.4#53 Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: using nameserver 8.8.8.8#53 Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: using local addresses only for unqualified names Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq[1194]: read /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.addnhosts - 0 addresses Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke dnsmasq-dhcp[1194]: read /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.hostsfile Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke libvirtd[6466]: XML error: Storage pool config filename '/etc/libvirt/storage/pool.xml' does not match pool name 'default' Dec 05 20:15:03 zeke libvirtd[6466]: Could not find 'ebtables' executable Wenn I click to add a new vm, I get the error: Error: 'None Type' object has no attribute '__getitem__' and cannot proceed. I'm not sure where to go from here or where else to look. The Wiki briefly mentions the python api [1] and mentions that there should be some examples to look at though I don't see them on my system. Any pointers or google key words would be appreciated. [1]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libvirt#Using_Python -- pete
