I can launch Virtual Machine Manager succesfully and connect to the KVM host via ssh. But when I want to open or create a new vm I get the error message below. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Same thing here. A brew update yesterday seems to have hosed many things.

Same here. To reduce interference, I have removed all versions and dependencies via brew uninstall --force libvirt-glib gtk-vnc spice-gtk libvirt pygobject3 virt-manager virt-viewer and then installed again. It did not help.

Version info:

brew info virt-manager                                                                                                                            26.05 2020 10:19:16 CEST

pci.ids file comes from https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/libosinfo/-/blob/master/build-aux/download_pci_ids the other missing file is usb.ids from the same source.

Ugly fix:

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

I had some other issues and did a complete uninstall/reinstall of homebrew. Issue persists with virt-manager.

[binaryanomaly]

I installed this on vanilla homebrew so the cause is likely not an existing installation of brew.

[mcowart123]

Has there been any update on this? I know virt-manager is technically deprecated but there's nothing else out there GUI-wise that has as much functionality.

Same issue here. The manual workaround for libosinfo 1.8.0 was effective.
