🛰️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!
-
Thanks @Baronvaile. Can i restart xo-server?
-
Sorry, I was out for a bit. Yes, you can restart my xoa.
-
If you still are waiting i have opened a support tunnel - 35965 this is for my home lab. You may reboot XOA if needed.
-
Thanks @Baronvaile, the fix seems to work.
@acebmxer i will also patch your XOA, It's better to have several confirmations
-
Can confirm that XOA v6 looks good now.

-
@acebmxer It also works on your XOA.
Thank you both for your availability for testing. I will see with the XO team when to release a fix.
We apologize for any inconvenience
-
@MathieuRA Thank you for the team's and specifically your dedication to the project and the quick turn around time.

Confirmed Dashboard now loads correctly.
-
After upgrading from 6.3.3 to the new 6.4.0 release, the dashboard page for xoa 6 is just spinning. v5 seem unaffected after the update. I have restarted the xoa vm. The xoa-updated show all up to date and xoa check shows healthy.

Thanks for the detailed report and the journalctl output, and to @acebmxer and @ph7 for the confirmations. I've filed this upstream as GitHub issue #9799 so the dev team can track it properly. The in-thread fix from @mathieura got your instances running again, but the root cause is worth investigating so it doesn't come back in a future update. I'll update the issue if anything changes on that front.

Unfortunately, commit https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9727 doesn't fix this issue of the VM-console reloading constantly. With loss of focus as a result. At least not on XO6..
PR #9727 was supposed to fix this but it sounds like the problem is still there on XO 6 for you. I've filed it as GitHub issue #9800 so the team can take another look with fresh eyes. If you have any more details about when the reload triggers (for example, whether it happens more on certain browsers or VM types) adding them to the issue would probably help narrow it down.

Before the LTS release UEFI worked extremely well, something kind of went sideways when it hit release. I only have a single UEFI VM, it was created under version 8.2 and does not give me trouble.
I guess I need to get my lab back up, had a UPS fail and shut everything off a few days ago. Then I need to test UEFI VMs and see what I can see. But back when it went LTS I reinstalled from scratch and tried to do everything through XO-lite to get the first VM running and found that Debian 13 or Windows Server 2022 would not boot if I created them with UEFI. Since then I haven't tested this again.
I'm also tempted to just move my whole lab to version 9, waiting for the next ISO to land and I may do this. I can run real testing workloads on Harvester for the time being and maybe play around migrating back and forth between both systems.
Logged this as GitHub issue #9801. The detail that 8.2-era UEFI VMs still work but new ones created through XO Lite don't is a useful clue for the team to narrow the scope. Worth checking if the same behavior shows up when creating the VM through XO 5 vs XO Lite, in case it's a frontend difference rather than hypervisor-level. Either way, the issue is now tracked.

Slow booting on Debian 13 VM created from a template
I recently tried cloning a VM from a template (created from a full install of Debian 13). What was noticed was that the system takes forever to boot when the VM is created from XO-6. The issue does not happen in XO-5. The VM seems to hang at the TianoCore boot screen
.What I noticed is that when the VM is cloned with XO-6 the boot order somehow changes to Network boot as the first option

This does not happen (change of boot order) if the VM is cloned from XO-5 and there is no boot delay. The boot process seems to wait for more than 2 minutes before it fails network boot and then proceeds normally to boot from the Hard drive

Thanks
This one's filed as GitHub issue #9802. The clone inserting Network Boot as the first option is reproducible and @MajorP93 confirmed the extended boot time with spinlock messages too, which strengthens the report. Both symptoms are in the issue. If you find a workaround in the meantime (like manually reordering boot entries post-clone), adding it to the issue would be useful for others hitting the same thing.
