I'm trying to create a small virtual guest for debian using Virtual Machine Manager. I accept all the defaults, but:

Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: 'directory' storage format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type instead'


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2089, in _do_async_install

    doboot, transient)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 491, in _create_guest
    domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3915, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: 'directory' storage format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type instead

The virt io tab shows storage format as "dir". I can't figure out the location of the actual xml file that VMM creates. Sigh.

Any help appreciated.
