🛰️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!

I'd say XO-Lite was minimally viable almost a year ago, you could get real work done bouncing between it and the host console (still in XO-Lite).
Both are getting better, it's going to be a journey and I'm warming up to some of the features in XO 6.
As to the discussion about the third party scripts, maybe if the official method had a script to make it easier/quicker to install we could all be on the same page. I've used both, and failed many times with the official method (several years ago) and it could be easier for people setting up labs to install it. But maybe that's the idea, make it long and tedious.
I'm just going to say that things like the new dashboard have grown on me, but needing to flip back to 5 for some things is a pain. Trying to be patient and truthfully I don't spend a lot of time in my system now. Log in to check backups, do some updates once in a while, etc. My system has become fairly stable.
That said, I did recently upgrade my lab, and that will get a ton more use in XO when I get back to some testing I'm doing there. Probably going to wipe out my lab and start over, planning that now. and it may or may not be XCP this time so I can learn the basics of a different system.

@Greg_E You've got a point, actually several.
The scripts exist for a reason because the official way is way to complicated. I still use them, having converted to xcpng @home (scripts) and @business 3 yrs ago.
There should be an official script, definitely. So all are on the same page. They have nothing to loose, everything to gain! The more people use it the better and having a simple way to officially install XO would help that.
Regarding XO6, I don't personally like it at all, mainly because I have to hunt around to find stuff, where in XO5 it's already automatic (not talking about missing features which revert us to XO5).
I actually don't like the UI, it is cramped especially on smaller laptop screens... But this is a personal preference..... -

Everything I've used so far is 1920x1080 or higher resolution... I guess I'll have to use my ClockworkPi uConsole with it's 1280x720 screen and see what I can see, I may hate it on this little device.As a Windows user, I've gotten used to things moving locations from one update to the next, but I get it, it's going to take some learning.

When creating new vm in XOv6 it does not set the correct number of cpu's....
I set 4 cpu's and after creation there is only 1. Also the ISO image is not mounted after creation.

Confirmed in my lab. I also noticed that I had to explicitly add a network adapter, which is a change from XO5.

That also. I forgot to include that about network adapter. VM does boot and appear to work correct after fixing those issues.

[edit] strike all that, I found them in XO5 and removed them. It was the reshuffling of where things are between the new interface.

Themes are not persistent. If I set a theme Nord in dark mode. It will stay if i log out and log back in. But i close the browser and open new and log in back to default.
I am using https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script. Not sure if that has anything do with it. Cant test is XOA as these update not live in XOA yet.
Noticed this with 2 from two pc's one running windows 11 with brave browser and with Ubuntu 25.10 desktop with brave browser.

Hmm are you sure you are not in private mode? IIRC, theme is stored within a cookie.
-
No private browsing or incognito mode. Also tried with fresh install of fire fox same issue.
