Hi Pavel,
Thanks for the help. I re-installed virt-manager just as you suggested. It
got installed. But when I try to launch it I am getting following error
Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: cannot import name vmmDetails
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 291, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-
manager", line 239, in main
from virtManager.engine import vmmEngine
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 41, in <module>
from .details import vmmDetails
ImportError: cannot import name vmmDetails
Can you please help me fixing this?
Thanks,
Aravind
