Public bug reported: To reproduce go to install any os in virt-manger I tried with Lubuntu 18.10 as a guest and before starting the vm click to customize hardware on the cd drive under performace option set unsafe for the cache mode. When the os reboots the first time to eject the os install iso from the cd drive I get the following error message.
