Hi!

I recently ran into a problem when connecting to libvirtd 6.9.0 on Debian unstable
and trying to import an existing image with Windows 7.

Upon finishing the wizard and starting the instance, the import process fails
with the following error message:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2081, in _do_async_install
    installer.start_install(guest, meter=meter)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 731, in start_install
    domain = self._create_guest(
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 679, in _create_guest
    domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4366, in createXML
    raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor

Since this error message is rather generic, I don't know where to start debugging.

Does anyone know how to increase verbosity here to get an error message that might be
more helpful?

Thanks,
Adrian
