Cannot choose boot device for a Qube. bootfromdevice.py: 'qubesadmin.tools' has no attribute 'qvm_start'

[80tf3262p8]

Qubes OS version:

4.0

Affected TemplateVMs:

just dom0

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a Qubes VM, no template, and try to choose a boot device.

Expected behavior:

The OK and Cancel buttons do something.

Actual behavior:

The OK and Cancel buttons do nothing.

General notes:

If I run qubes-vm-boot-from-device VMNAME I can see this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/qubesmanager/bootfromdevice.py", line 65, in save_and_apply
    tools.qvm_start.main(['--cdrom', cdrom_location, self.vm.name])
AttributeError: module 'qubesadmin.tools' has no attribute 'qvm_start'

The problem seems to go away if I add, in the import section of /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/qubesmanager/bootfromdevice.py,

import qubesadmin.tools.qvm_start

I don't know if that import line I gave really fixes the whole problem. I still can't select an ISO but I may just not know what I'm doing.

Same here (4.0 latest testing). The import line is sufficient and I can complete a Win7 installation.

Adding the import fixed error "AttributeError: module 'qubesadmin.tools' has no attribute 'qvm_start'" for me but I still can't add an ISO. When I click OK on qubes-vm-boot-from-device, I get the error message "Got empty response from qubesd. See journalctl in dom0 for details." Error in journalctl is:

File "/usr/share/qubes/templates/libvirt/devices/block.xml", line 3, in top-level template code
<source dev="{{ device.device_node }}" />
jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'qubes.devices.UnknownDevice object' has no attribute 'device_node'
