virt-manager broken on Big Sur after minor update #170

DerBunteBall · 2021-03-27T22:29:00Z

Hi all,

I'm not able to get virt-manager working again on macOS Big Sur since last minor update.

Reinstalling (brew reinstall virt-manager virt-viewer) gives this:

Before reinstalling the Python Module gi was not found. Looks like it is part of python3-gobject.

Ideas for that?

Same here on Big sur..even with a clean Big Sur, Python3 and Homebrew install the problem persists.

I Try first install pip install certifi chardet idna pycairo requests urllib3 libvirt-python, but the problem continue. Even installing python modules separated virt-manager try install it again and fails.

However currently brew only carry python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9.

Moreover, even previously working virt-manager stop working with following error:

$ virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/2.2.1_3/libexec/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 15, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

Maybe the source need to be updated to virt-manager 3.2?

I fixed it by updating libvirt-python to 7.2.0 .

J-Siu · 2021-04-19T09:58:11Z

Only updating libvirt-python to 7.2.0 didn't work for me.

I don't know ruby and don't understand homebrew build system, I just brute force my way through it. 🤦

I end up doing following:

brew uninstall virt-manager
cd /usr/local/bin
# They were not symlink in my box, I have to manually delete them
rm virt-clone virt-intall virt-manager virt-xml

Then brew edit virt-manager and changed following:

Update virt-manager source to 3.2.0
Add depends_on "docutils" for rst2man
Update libvirt-python to 7.2.0 as suggested. (Tried to remove it as brew has the package, but then virt-manager fail to run.)
Use python3 instead of python in def install section.
Update sha256 when error pop up during brew install
Comment out the patch line as it doesn't apply for 3.2.0. (I setup ssh key for my target box.)

Following is my current working formula, use at your own risk:

Only updating libvirt-python to 7.2.0 didn't work for me.

I don't know ruby and don't understand homebrew build system, I just brute force my way through it. 🤦

There is a line patch :DATA in the original file. It patch virt-manager 2.2.1 to allow ssh password. That patch cannot be apply to 3.2.0. So I commented it by adding a # in front.

Only updating libvirt-python to 7.2.0 didn't work for me.

I don't know ruby and don't understand homebrew build system, I just brute force my way through it. 🤦

I end up doing following:

brew uninstall virt-manager
cd /usr/local/bin
# They were not symlink in my box, I have to manually delete them
rm virt-clone virt-intall virt-manager virt-xml

Then brew edit virt-manager and changed following:

* Update virt-manager source to 3.2.0

* Add `depends_on "docutils"` for rst2man

* Update libvirt-python to 7.2.0 as suggested. (Tried to remove it as brew has the package, but then virt-manager fail to run.)

* Use python3 instead of python in `def install` section.

* Update sha256 when error pop up during brew install

* Comment out the `patch` line as it doesn't apply for 3.2.0. (I setup ssh key for my target box.)

Following is my current working formula, use at your own risk:

@austinben
If you do ls -1 /usr/local/lib/libpango*, do you see following tango libraries?

/usr/local/lib/libpango-1.0.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpango-1.0.a
/usr/local/lib/libpango-1.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.a
/usr/local/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.0.dylib

/usr/local/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.dylib

austinben · 2021-05-06T21:15:43Z

@J-Siu

I do not see these on my machine under /usr/local/lib. This directory does not exist on my machine, even though running brew install pango returns that pango is installed and is up to date.

J-Siu · 2021-05-06T23:01:16Z

@austinben

What about ls -1 /usr/lib/libpango*?

In theory the export you use in .zshrc is redundant because the default of DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib. You can check man dyld.

I am a bit surprise you don’t have /usr/local/lib unless you have a very old brew setup. Verify your brew setup with following:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew doctor

The first 2 lines will bring your brew command and packages up to date. The last one will show you pssoible errors or issues. Pay attention if it mention anything about brew link —overwrte … and missing /usr/local/lib. You should create that dir anyway and change ownership to your working login:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
sudo chown <user>:staff /usr/local/lib

austinben · 2021-05-06T23:40:32Z

What about ls -1 /usr/lib/libpango*?

Nothing.

Created the directory and changed the ownership. Did a re-install of homebrew, pango (through homebrew) and virt-manager. Same error appears. I am on an M1 mini for reference.

J-Siu · 2021-05-07T02:44:30Z

Double check the location of pango library: ls -lh /usr/local/Cellar/pango/1.48.4/lib/lib*. If they are there, do following:

cd /usr/local/lib
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/pango/1.48.4/lib/lib* .

austinben · 2021-05-07T03:36:14Z

The pango libraries were in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pango/1.48.4/lib and are now linked to /usr/local/lib, unfortunately resulting in the same error as #170 (comment) . This effort may be futile anyways, as I need to use qemu as well, and it has its own share of problems with M1.

I appreciate the effort, thank you.

@austinben Try the brew forum, people there are very knowledgeable, https://github.com/homebrew/discussions/discussions

@austinben Try the brew forum, people there are very knowledgeable, https://github.com/homebrew/discussions/discussions

Hey @J-Siu, I'm having the same problem as @austinben because (I'm almost sure) we are using M1 Macs with Big Sur. Homebrew installs differently on M1s. It goes to /opt/homebrew/ and maybe has different inner mechanics as to linking libs. Also on M1s/Big Sur there's no /usr/local/lib.
I guess you're trying to solve this problem the "intel way" :)

Also I'm using bash instead of zsh... I changed my default shell as soon as I started using my new Mac. Can that also present a different set of problems adding to those of libs?

Is it possible that M1s with Big Sur need a different solution?

Did some search and found out that Brew setup is different on M1. M1 brew prefix is /opt/homebrew while on Intel Mac it is /usr/local. Please try:

brew --prefix
ls /opt/homebrew/lib/libpango*

Also I'm using bash instead of zsh... I changed my default shell as soon as I started using my new Mac. Can that also present a different set of problems adding to those of libs?

zsh uses .zshrc and bash uses .bashrc, but the export line syntax is same. If the check above come back positive, the line should be:

export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/homebrew/lib

Is it possible that M1s with Big Sur need a different solution?

I think the issue so far is related to library search path.

Still same error... I have no more ideas...

phirestalker · 2021-05-14T18:01:30Z

@J-Siu - Thank you! it's working!

PS. If anyone got this error:
11:23:32.138: Failed to load shared library 'libpango-1.0.0.dylib' referenced by the typelib: dlopen(libpango-1.0.0.dylib, 9): image not found : Could not open display: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.bUJAojAVPX/org.macosforge.xquartz:0

Check that - pango was installed over brew (brew install pango)
then change $DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH env variable to
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib in ~/.zshrc

I ran the export line in the terminal (I'm still using bash) and I still get the error. Do I need to reinstall virt-manager as well?

J-Siu · 2021-05-14T18:15:51Z

@ssurfertuga Sorry, I ran out of idea.

J-Siu · 2021-05-14T18:17:07Z

@phirestalker Are you using the one I post? I assume you are not on M1, right?

phirestalker · 2021-05-14T18:40:56Z

@phirestalker Are you using the one I post? I assume you are not on M1, right?

Sorry forgot to read all the posts after.
I am in the same boat as ssurfertuga
I am using Big Sur with an M1 mac

$ export
declare -x DISPLAY=":0"
declare -x DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/opt/homebrew/lib"

J-Siu · 2021-05-14T19:21:57Z

@phirestalker Since you are on M1, the export should be:

export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/homebrew/lib”

Check:

ls -lh /opt/homebrew/lib/libpango*

phirestalker · 2021-05-14T21:21:51Z

that did not work. I do have the files in /opt/homebrew/lib though.

J-Siu · 2021-05-14T22:57:32Z

@phirestalker ok, seems DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is not working as intended in M1. Try following:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib virt-manager

phirestalker · 2021-05-14T22:59:27Z

@phirestalker ok, seems DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is not working as intended in M1. Try following:
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib virt-manager

no dice. I get the same error

timscha · 2021-05-18T12:09:27Z

I am having the same problem as @phirestalker and tried all steps as well. I am on a M1 Mac.

mars1512 · 2021-05-21T13:11:53Z

The virt-manager installed worked well on MacOS BigSur(M1) with steps provided by @J-Siu, thank you very much!
Now, facing same issue of
Failed to load shared library 'libpango-1.0.0.dylib' referenced by the typelib: dlopen(libpango-1.0.0.dylib, 9): image not found

veronicajk · 2021-07-07T23:33:54Z

@J-Siu's solution at https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/issues/170#issuecomment-822341574 worked for me too! I'm now successfully running virt-manager on Mojave Mac OSX 10.14.6. Thank you so much! :)

Only updating libvirt-python to 7.2.0 didn't work for me.

I don't know ruby and don't understand homebrew build system, I just brute force my way through it. 🤦

I end up doing following:

brew uninstall virt-manager
cd /usr/local/bin
# They were not symlink in my box, I have to manually delete them
rm virt-clone virt-intall virt-manager virt-xml

Then brew edit virt-manager and changed following:

Update virt-manager source to 3.2.0
Add depends_on "docutils" for rst2man
Update libvirt-python to 7.2.0 as suggested. (Tried to remove it as brew has the package, but then virt-manager fail to run.)
Use python3 instead of python in def install section.
Update sha256 when error pop up during brew install
Comment out the patch line as it doesn't apply for 3.2.0. (I setup ssh key for my target box.)

Following is my current working formula, use at your own risk:

After hours spent and installing half of homebrew + xCode + Commandline Tools, your solution worked great for me!
