Public bug reported:
To reproduce install virt-manager on a xenial install and boot a guest
with kvm/qemu x86 backend I have not tried to reproduce with all the
others yet. Install a guest and when running an GUI click virtual
machine -> take screenshot on the guest in the menu. I get the error
message
Error taking screenshot: argument 1 must be convertible to a buffer, not
_ResultTuple
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 1455, in
control_vm_screenshot
return self._take_screenshot()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 1507, in
_take_screenshot
file(filename, "wb").write(ret)
TypeError: argument 1 must be convertible to a buffer, not _ResultTuple
Which seems to be a type error in python. virt-manager:

I expected clicking to save a screenshot would save an image file on my
computer. Instead I get a popup warning message and an empty image file that
does not open in any image viewer.
