When adding a virtual hdd, or an iso image to a vm with virt-manager (regardless which verison of virt-manager), the gui seems to be freezed. After that libvirt is disfunctional and cannot be restarted on a clean way. Killing libvirt and restarting daemon gets it up again. Downgrading to app-emulation/libvirt-1.0.6-r1 solves this issue! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open VM 2. Add existing HDD/ISO 3. Click Finish 1. Create new VM 2. Import existing disk image 3. Click Next Actual Results: 1. virt-manager GUI hangs 2. libvirt hangs Expected Results: storage should be added w530 lu # emerge --info Portage 2.1.12.13 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.7.3,

This is reported and fixed upstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980676 I suggest applying this patch: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=fe89fd3b4071242ce9bbae6e1178fee30dc2f4f9 It works for me. @virtualization, commit it please or let me.
I can confirm applying the named patch solves the problem. This is a serious issue so I suggest to either apply the fix (it is already upstream so it is ok), or hard mask this version.
Upgrade to libvirt-1.1.0-r3.
