Virt-manager 0.9.5 is very old (2013).
The latest virt-manager has a hard requirement on python3. Virt-manager 
1.5 is the last version that will run on python2. There is no backward
compatibility with python2. There are some other package requirements
as well that may or may not exist on these old versions of Ubuntu and
Centos. 


I would suggest you just check out virt-manager on the machine with,

git clone https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager

Then cd into the virt-manager directory and run it from the source
(./virt-manager). This works fine on a compatable distro. You'll
probably immediately hit dependency problems as it comes up.

The log file will be found in ~/.cache/virt-manager/virt-manager.log
