Hi
I have installed the KVM hypervisor tools and created a windowsxp virtual machine through Yast. When I click on Virtual Machine manager I get the following error message:

Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object)

With details:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py”, line 420, in <module>
main()
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py”, line 347, in main

File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/console.py”, line 27, in <module>
import gtkvnc
ImportError: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object)

Has anyone any idea how I correct this error?

Thanks

Is libvirtd running? Go into YaST and check in the Runlevel settings. Make
sure it is enabled.

The issue you’re describing looks pretty much like the dbus connection failure I got in some cases while trying to launch virt-manager as root - because normal users could not connect to libvirt. I’ll suggest fixing this problem first: users are not able to connect to libvirt (polkit issue).
