Hello,

I updated opensuse 11.4 which was running fine, and since then I’m getting the following when trying to start up my virtual guests:

ERROR:root:could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py”, line 420, in <module>

I’ve seen a couple of threads about adding a libvirt group, but it is still not working. any ideas?

Just as a clarification, the above error is when I try to issue the virt-manager command itself. it crashed with the above output. That’s on opensuse 11.4, 64-bit. It worked well until yesterday or so. I updated the system these days as well. Was working ok since I installed 11.4 on this system.

ok, narrowed a little the error

on one system I get:

python
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Aug 07 2010, 16:54:59) [GCC] on linux2
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
>>> import gtk
>>>

the above is one opensuse 11.4

on the one I have the issue, I get:

python
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Aug 07 2010, 16:54:59) [GCC] on linux2
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

ok, solved, for the record:

did a :

zypper install --force python-gtk-2.22.0-4.1.x86_64

from:

python-gtk-2.24.0-22.2.x86_64

now it is working.
