I get the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtManager' error compiling a custom libvirt-python+virt-manager stack

Hello.

I've tried to compile a custom libvirt-python+virt-manager stack following these tutorials :

https://developer.ibm.com/technologi...virt-and-qemu/

https://gist.github.com/ffledgling/9...9bec3a0db35634

on my jetson nano (arm64 + ubuntu 18.04). In details,these are the steps that I did :

1) Install Git and clone both upstream libvirt and qemu repos.

Code:

 git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu.git



    git clone https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt.git

2) Configure and build the qemu code and then install the qemu code. The make install command creates the binary files in the /usr/local directory.

Code:

 cd qemu



    mkdir -p build



    cd build



    ../configure --prefix=/usr/local --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,arm-softmmu --enable-guest-agent --enable-vnc --enable-vnc-jpeg --enable-vnc-png --enable-kvm --enable-spice --enable-sdl --enable-gtk --enable-virglrenderer --enable-opengl



    make -j



    sudo make install

2.1) qemu 6.0 has been detected correctly at this poiint :

Code:

#qemu-system-aarch64 --version



    QEMU emulator version 6.0.50 (v6.0.0-1145-g7258034ab4) Copyright (c) 2003-2021 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

3) Configure and build libvirt and then install the libvirt code. Libvirt_build contains the log and configuration files for the daemons and the qemu driver.

Code:

cd ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt



    mkdir -p libvirt_build



    cd ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt



    $ meson libvirt_build



    $ ninja -C libvirt_build



    $ ninja -C libvirt_build install

4) Run the following commands from /root/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build directory to start the libvirt daemon (libvirtd).

Code:

 ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build# sudo ./run src/virtlockd & sudo ./run src/virtlogd & sudo ./run src/libvirtd

5) Here is the ouput of the virt process running in my system :

Code:

~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt_build# ps axf | grep virt



    30925 pts/0 S 0:00 | _ sudo ./run src/virtlockd 30929 pts/0 S 0:00 | |

    _ src/virtlockd 30926 pts/0 S 0:00 |

    _ sudo ./run src/virtlogd 30930 pts/0 S 0:00 |

    | _ src/virtlogd 31201 pts/0 S 0:00 |

    _ sudo ./run src/virtlockd 31205 pts/0 S 0:00 |

    | _ src/virtlockd 31202 pts/0 S 0:00 |

    _ sudo ./run src/virtlogd 31207 pts/0 S 0:00 |

    | _ src/virtlogd 31204 pts/0 S+ 0:00 |

    _ sudo ./run src/libvirtd 31206 pts/0 Sl+ 0:01 |

    _ src/libvirtd 4732 pts/1 S+ 0:00 _ grep --color=auto virt



    31413 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/root/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/build/src/libvirt_leaseshelper



    31426 ? S 0:00 _ /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/root/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/build/src/libvirt_leaseshelper



    ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build# sudo ./run tools/virsh list --all



    Id Name State

6) Install libvirt-python next because I need to use virt-manager and that requires libvirt python bindings

Code:

CUSTOM_ROOT=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build



    mkdir - p $CUSTOM_ROOT/src



    #cp -r /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/Dati/Data/Nano/I9/Tools/virt-manager-3.2.0 /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src



    ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/lib



    ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig



    ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# python setup.py build



    ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# python setup.py install --root $CUSTOM_ROOT



    LOG : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/SVHkDhXs2s/

7) Then I've installed a custom virt-manager into the same location and it should pick up the newer python bindings :

Code:

    #cp -r /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/Dati/Data/Nano/I9/Tools/virt-manager-3.2.0 /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src



    #cd virt-manager-3.2.0



    #python setup.py install --root $CUSTOM_ROOT



    LOG : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/bCn5Q3yHVX/

8) Finally I put all in my $PATH :

Code:

 export PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/bin:$PATH



    export PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/usr/bin:$PATH



    #echo $PATH



    /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work:/root/Desktop/turbovnc/jtx1_remote_access >/tmp/turbovnc-build/bin/:/root/Desktop/turbovnc/jtx1_remote_access/tmp/virtualgl-build/bin/

9) Unfortunately,when I try to run virt-manager with this command,it does not work :

Code:

/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin# python virt-manager



Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin/virt-manager", line 6, in from virtManager import virt manager ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtManager'

Where is the mistake ? very thanks.

Hi,

it seems that you didn't add the installation location to you $PYTHONPATH.

Evo2.

Hello.

thanks. I tried,but it didn't work :

I think it did work. You no longer get the error:

Code:

No module named 'virtManager'

Now it can't find ConfigParser which should come with python2 and should be instalable with your package manager for python3.

Evo2.

# python --version

Python 3.6.9

I've jumped back to the previous error :(
