hello list,
I switched to version 9 (not redhat) on my "new" server, and that worked. But after updating to 9.1, the virt-manger doesn't work anymore? There are only more error messages when opening the 2nd window for the settings.
I hope someone on this list can help? It's a beloved tool which for me is the easiest way to create a KVM machine.
thanks for any help,
This may provide the answer you are looking for: it's being deprecated in favor of Cockpit.

I know it's not a full answer but at least it works fine for me with : - distrobox - a stream 8 box/container that has virt-manager
If you don't know distrobox (available in epel9) it's really a pleasure to work with : I have some containers (Fedora 36, stream 8, stream 9) from which I have gui apps seamlessly integrated into my RHEL 9 desktop :
sudo dnf install distrobox # needs epel9 distrobox-create --name stream8box --image quay.io/centos/centos:stream8 --yes distrobox enter stream8box # init container for distrobox usage and enter stream 8 shell
and then BAU: from the shell in container : sudo dnf install virt-manager && virt-manager
Bonus point to then export the app to your own desktop menu and you'll not have to start container : it will be done for you :
distrobox-export --app virt-manager Application virt-manager successfully exported. OK! virt-manager will appear in your applications list in a few seconds.
It's then available in your gnome apps menu (it created the needed .desktop app as shortcut)
I'm using some other apps like this (including OBS-Studio, etc) and it's a charm ...
Hope it helps :)

Deprecated, yes, rut only in Red Hat. Still fully supported upstream. https://blog.wikichoon.com/2020/06/virt-manager-deprecated-in-rhel.html
