** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kvm
I have tested the following on Ubuntu 8.04. I am using kvm and virt-
manager. I beleive this bug to be related to the libvirt-manager
package. What happens is that virt-manager disconnects the CD-ROM
without user intervention and does not allow the user to reconnected
through the virt-manager GUI.
Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder virt-manager
$ sudo adduser ubuntu kvm
# reboot
$ virt-manager
# double click on the localhost (User) to make status "Active"
# new (button)
# create a new VM using an XP CD
# after first reboot, installer asks for CD, CD disappears from VM device

-Device Type (Selected CD-ROM)
I would recommend that the CD-ROM or DVD option be the same in "Creating
a VM" and "Add Device" so that a physical CD-ROM can be bound to a VM in
- a few clicks.
