pci.ids: No Such File Or Directory

[Selora]

Hi,

I'm getting this error when trying to open a VM (right-click->open or doubleclick). This only started to happen after a full brew upgrade today, not sure what broke.

Error launching details: g-io-error-quark: Error opening file /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/pci.ids: No such file or directory (1)

Apologies for this half-assed bug report, I'm just at lost as to where to start to debug this. This seems to be libosinfo that fails to create the pci.ids file properly. I tried reinstalling libosinfo and virt-manager but I'm not getting any further.

[superlazycoder]

I "Literally" just ran into this issue. I solved it by replacing the files.

create and open the folder in question.

mkdir -p /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/
cd /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/
open .

now you can download from the following locations, and drag/drop them into this new folder

pci.ids is located at the following url https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/

usb.ids is located at the following url http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html

After replacing these files manually the viewer works.

Yup it works! Thanks! Looks like there was some changes here recently, maybe that's what broke everything? There's some outdated dependencies in this homebrew packages too.
Anyway, easy enough fix that I'm not bothering digging any deeper

I did a reinstall of my whole brew on Catalina. I get this error:

then I followed the steps above for adding the ids and get a new error:

In addition the command line is spewing out this information:

Thanks for the info folks, seeing this issue in Linux as well.

Of note, Red Hat has deprecated virt-manager in their 8.1 release

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/8.1_release_notes/deprecated_functionality#deprecated-functionality_virtualization

The shift is towards Cockpit, which is a web-based interface to manage machines. It has features for containers also. I myself have not tried it yet, but hopefully it has near-complete feature parity with virt-manager, particularly in configuring the machines.

virt-manager has a lot of built-in validations to prevent selection of invalid / incompatible VM settings, which saves a lot of time.

Another finding, I'm able to see the files in :

$ ls /usr/share/hwdata/
iab.txt  oui.txt  pci.ids  pnp.ids  usb.ids

which is owned by the hwdata package. Seems like this issue is relatively easy, just not sure which package it's broken in

I was able to workaround this issue, with switching the active libosinfo back to 1.6.0 (which I had installed previously), so it's definitely related to the update of libosinfo

[jackcarrozzo]

Same thing here, using virt-manager via brew on OSX. Solve with cp -R /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.6.0/share/libosinfo /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/

mkdir -p /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/
cd /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/
open .

now you can download from the following locations, and drag/drop them into this new folder

pci.ids is located at the following url https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/

usb.ids is located at the following url http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html

After replacing these files manually the viewer works.

Even easier:

mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo
wget http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids -O /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/usb.ids
wget https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids -O /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/pci.ids

[angryhamsterx]

More right urls (from libosinfo sources):

mkdir -p /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo
wget -O /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/usb.ids "http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids"
wget -O /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/pci.ids "http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids"

it works. It helped me. Thanks, gues.

[bdunncompany]

I "Literally" just ran into this issue. I solved it by replacing the files.

create and open the folder in question.

mkdir -p /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/
cd /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/
open .

now you can download from the following locations, and drag/drop them into this new folder

pci.ids is located at the following url https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/

usb.ids is located at the following url http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html

After replacing these files manually the viewer works.

This worked perfectly. Thanks for saving me SOOOO much time trying to work this out on my own.

ywac (your words as code)

wget https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids -O /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/pci.ids
wget http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids -O /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/libosinfo/usb.ids

[cjntaylor]

Version independent ywac:

mkdir -p $(brew --prefix libosinfo)/share/libosinfo
wget https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids -O $(brew --prefix libosinfo)/share/libosinfo/pci.ids
wget http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids -O $(brew --prefix libosinfo)/share/libosinfo/usb.ids

This also appears to work for the recently released libosinfo 1.8.0 (and is still necessary)

[peschmae]

Ran into the same issue again, after a brew upgrade, my solution was to downgrad libosinfo to version 1.6.0 (which sadly isn't a versioned formula), using the git commit.

brew unlink libosinfo
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/44410d3ec00d88e7c6afa362ebc50176dfc75157/Formula/libosinfo.rb
brew pin libosinfo

Still not entirely sure, if this is something that needs to be fixed in this formulae, or if the libosinfo formulae is broken

[jouve]

fixed in homebrew-core (1.8.0_1)

[gearboxscott]

I tried it out, now I'm getting:

Error launching create dialog: libosinfo: Incorrect root element (0)

so the file issue is gone but element (0) has surfaced.

[jouve]

maybe reinstall osinfo-db ?

[gearboxscott]

Actually, I have been uninstalling brew and reinstalling it. I don't use brew for much else except autojump. So yesterday, I removed brew and reinstalled it. Still got the error.
