To answer your other question 'does it also happen with a newly created Vm'. Yes, but the wizards asks for a CD image and that works, so I'm perfectly able to install the machine from CD. After the first disconnect, it's not possible to use the GUI to connect cd's to virtual machines no matter whether they are running or not.
There are two workarounds: - From virt-manager: Shut down the machine, remove the CDROM, and add it again. While adding, you can select an image. - From the command line using virt-attach -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/904627 Title: Can't connect CDROM from gui To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/904627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
