🛰️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!

[ph7]

I have previously put in some feedback in other threads that are not yet "fixed"
Shall I put in links to them here ?

[ph7]

Xen Orchestra, commit f4988

I have a VM that I don't use that much
It is backed up with smart mode enabled, with a TAG and VM status RUNNING `

But in XO6 it doesn't show up when the VM is powered off

It's shown in XO5

If I start it, it will show up

@jr-m4 Thanks for the feedback! I tried to reproduce that but I don't seem to get the same behaviour. Let me make sure I understood:

• You select a template
• VDI names get prefilled automatically
• You select another template
• VDI names don't change automatically (but on my side it looks like they do change)

Could you confirm that?

@marcoi Thanks @acebmxer for answering, we'll make a change very soon so that you no longer have to do that.

@pilow Our precise backlog is private but here's the short-term roadmap:

• Actions, starting with VMs lifecycle. XO 6 is mostly read-only for now but this will change soon.
• User management and allowing non-admin users to use XO 6 + ACLs.
• XOA license management.

@ph7 If we answered your other messages, most likely we have it in our backlog. But just to make sure we're not missing anything, you can indeed put the links here and we'll check them. Thanks again!

Creating a new VM. The "Created by" field is trashed. (bad joke). But the UI-bugg is there.

This is my other account.
Acctually. The VDI name does change. But it changes to the name of the previous selected template.

This is the steps I do, and it is reproducible

• I choose to create new vm
• I choose the first template. (Almalinux
• VDI is named: disk_0_rggi
• Without leaving the page. Choosing another template instead. (CentOS 7)
• The VDI is now named: AlmaLinux 8_0_3cgh
• This behaviour repeats each time a new template is chosen.

@pdonias

I can confirm with @probain with UI bug.

If i start new vm from template and select the template Ubuntu 24.04.3 to start.

Then switch to any other template (pic below shows Rocky Linux template) the storage name does update by adding *_qxaj at the end but still remains named ubuntu not rocky linux. Also see the description bug appear.

If i switch back to the original template (second template switch) the storage name drops the _qxaj and description bug goes away.

Xen Orchestra, commit 71fa8
If I press the link to the Docker VDI

I get to this page in XO5

[ph7]

Xen Orchestra, commit 71fa8
If I press the fullscreen button

Enter full screen in Firefox and then power down the VM, while remaining in Full Screen :

Refresh or (ctrl)F5 doesn't work
To get back to XO I have to press back arrow

[ph7]

I have 3 VMs, one of them is on local storage and powered off
In the Host Dashboard the CPU provisioning shows 50 % but the actual/current use is 0%
it would be nice if the CPU provision section could also show how many ´ vcpus ` are in use

yarn run turbo run build --filter @xen-orchestra/web

@acebmxer Thanks for this!
I've been building XO from the source using the documentation at https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/installation#from-the-sources and haven't been able to use XO-6, either. This fixed it.

@olivierlambert
Should we add this to https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/installation#installing-dependencies ? Or will it not be necessary after the next release?

[probain]

Noticing that the NIC for Realtek RTL8139 shows up as "-" in VM System

The Intel e1000 works as intended though.

[olivierlambert]

That's likely because it's the default type, but thanks for the feedback. It doesn't really matter if you can use tools, because NIC type (in fact emulated) should be almost not displayed as it's not used when you use PV drivers.

Xen Orchestra, commit 71fa8
With a snapshot attached to a VM, it is reported to use 0% of 100GB

And if I remove the snaphot

And that seems to be more accurate

[ph7]

I have a TrueNas (T1) and a Qnap (Q1) with all kind of stuff in them
The Truenas is using 55% of storage.

In XO5 and XO6 the TrueNas doesn't show all storage used

It is only showing the amount of storage used in each dataset

The Qnap seems to be showing the correct values

[Pilow]

@ph7 still in VDI section

100%used VDI widget is halfway through 100%

[pdonias]

@ph7 Thanks for all the feedback! We took notes of everything, and we're already fixing some of them

@jr-m4, @probain and @acebmxer We were eventually able to reproduce the VDI name bug, we'll fix that!

It won't be necessary after we merge this PR, which should be very soon.

First of all thanks for all the hard work that has been done towards reaching the XO 6 milestone!
I think you guys nailed it visually.
The difference between XO 5 and XO 6 is night and day!

I am not sure if you already noticed but in XO 6 when you click on pool --> storage and then click on one of your SR it will open XO 5 in a new tab and show the SR there.
That is something that I noticed today when I was trying to perform a task in XO 6.

Best regards

[ph7]

@MajorP93
If You press the link under Storage repository column, it will open in XO5
I think it's by design until XO6 is fully "released"
If You press inside of the other 4 columns, it will show info about that repo.

I like darkmode, but honestly, the purple on purple is too much. Is there ever a plan to allow for custom theme's to be applied?
