Yes, I will try and reproduce the issue, and will release a fix. Thanks!

Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: No module named version
Yes, that finally seems to do the trick. Thanks, Marc.
Can we see a fixed package to deal with this in lucid?

Try removing the whole /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst

"sudo rm /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst-0.300.2.egg-info

the problem here. Anything else I need to do?

yes, at least I did the straight upgrade between LTS hard to LTS lucid.
Must have been about half a year ago.

I think the hardy python-virtinst package is the culprit. Have a lok at

Patrick, thank you for your digging into the issue. In fact, it looks
like you had the same issue as me. My non-working computer has the same
files as you reported. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/virtinst-0.300.2.egg-info is a broken symlink to
/usr/share/pyshared/virtinst-0.300.2.egg-info.
Indeed, as you suggest, moving away the old files was sufficient. I can
now successfully run virt-manager.
I don't recall ever doing a manual install of virtinst on this machine ,
so I'm unclear where the old version came from, however, that was the
issue.
Thanks very much! Hopefully this also
When you did the "import virtinst" in python, it seemed to have found
this file:
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/virtinst/__init__.py
That file is not part of lucid's virtinst package...it should be
/usr/share/pyshared/virtinst/__init__.py and then symlinked to
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virti
You shouldn't add /usr/share/pyshared to your import path...files in
there are supposed to get symlinked to /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6...
Simply renaming or deleting the old files should be enough.

Ah ha! I think I have nailed the issue, at least for me: it's a combination of
a python module import path error, and left over debris of an earlier virtinst:
take a look:
First, notice that my python doesn't even have a module path that
includes /usr/share/pyshared:
pjs11@patslinux01 ~ $ pyth
Answered my own question again -- "version.py" is a file being shipped in the
virtinst package, under /usr/share/pyshared/virtinst, and it contains the
single variable "__version__'.
So, for some reason, the import in virtinst/__init__.py expects to find
virtinst/version.py, but can't.
Apologie
This appears to be the root cause:
pjs11@patslinux01 ~ $ python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: N
Sorry for the stupid question, answered it myself: yes, it is. The
package containing all the useful stuff in Lucid is just 'virtinst'.
:-(

You mean you forwarding X through SSH, or you're using a remote
connection in virt-manager?

Reinstalling the virt-inst package made no difference.
I am running the virt-manager program remotely, forwarded over ssh if
that makes any difference.

Do you have the virtinst package installed? If so, could you try reinstalling
it with the following command:
apt-get install --reinstall virtinst
