[virt-tools-list] Problem running virt-manager 0.10.0

[Erik Lotspeich]

Hi Cole,

Thanks for the tip. I ran glib-compile-schemas and I got past that
problem. At one point, I was installing in /usr/local, but now I'm just
using the default install prefix.

I got a new error after that. A dialog box popped up and said:

Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: No module named ipaddr

I poked around and found the python-ipaddr package in my distro
(OpenSUSE 12.3). That got past that error.

I got another error about missing GtkVnc. I found the gtk-vnc package
and installed that. virt-manager starts up now! Thanks so much for all
your help!

Let me say that 0.10.0 looks very nice.

Regards

Erik
