Just as a heads-up: This problem got resolved after a dist-upgrade which didn't 
upgrade
libvirt but some Python packages so I assume that one or more Python packages 
needed
an update or rebuild with Python 3.9.

Thanks,
Adrian

virt-manager connection fails with 'qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor'

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi!

I recently ran into a problem when connecting to libvirtd 6.9.0 on Debian 
unstable
and trying to import an existing image with Windows 7.

Upon finishing the wizard and starting the instance, the import process fails
with the following error message:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the 
monitor'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper
callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2081, in 
_do_async_install
installer.start_install(guest, meter=meter)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 731, in 
start_install
domain = self._create_guest(
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 679, in 
_create_guest
domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4366, in createXML
raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor

Since this error message is rather generic, I don't know where to start 
debugging.

Does anyone know how to increase verbosity here to get an error message that 
might be
more helpful?

Thanks,
Adrian

Since libvirt won't create the guest instance in the first place, dumping the 
XML of the config
like that won't work. However, it's possible to view the XML from the preview 
window in the
machine details:

[resent] virt-manager connection fails with 'qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor'

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi!

I recently ran into a problem when connecting to libvirtd 6.9.0 on Debian 
unstable
and trying to import an existing image with Windows 7.

Upon finishing the wizard and starting the instance, the import process fails
with the following error message:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the 
monitor'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper

  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2081, in 
_do_async_install

  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 731, in

Since this error message is rather generic, I don't know where to start 
debugging.

Does anyone know how to increase verbosity here to get an error message that 
might be
more helpful?

Thanks,
