🛰️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!

Greg_E

Updated both of mine yesterday and no issues, Debian 12 for both. One of them is an ancient HP T630, the other a vm as BIOS boot. Here might be the wrinkle, I haven't applied the latest XCP-ng updates, haven't had the time when things are clear enough to handle it.

I am also able to reprodduce in XOA... I can open a support ticket and/or open a support tunnel.

@john.c I'm up to date on both XO on Sources and XCP Hosts. Still same issue. Let me know if you need anything further.

Also..question about Templates in general. When I delete a Template I created, it deletes the associated VDI with that Template, correct? What about any snaps I created on the VM before I made it a Template? Maybe I have to delete that Snap separately from the SR? All of that is confusing, and documentatino doesn't cover details. If I delete a Template (VM), it should just delete everything with it imo. Ugh. And thanks!

@coolsport00

I would delete the snapshots just to make sure they are gone.

@coolsport00 can you try if issue is fixed in branch xo6/fix-opening-console-in-new-tab ?

@julienXOvates Hi Julien. I'm on XOS, branch 05aef, and it still doesn't work. Let me know if you need anything.

BTW..I went to the github url (I think it's right - https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/actions/runs/38920726809) , but I'm not sure how to add that to my XO to test with. I'm not too knowledgeable about github...even tho I took some vid training on it several mos ago. Still confuses me

What script are you using for your xo? if my script edit your xo-config.cfg file and change branch to xo6/fix-opening-console-in-new-tab

that is just the branch name...

@acebmxer I use XOS. To update, I run the "xo-install.sh" script. Is there something else I need to try/do? Thanks.

Update - so, in my XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater folder, I have an "xo-install.cfg" file. In there...I see "BRANCH=master". Do I change from "master" to "xo6/fix-opening-console-in-new-tab"?

If XOS = Xen Orchestra from sources. what script did you use to install it? My script is here - https://github.com/acebmxer/install_xen_orchestra Possible use used ronivay's script - https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater?

I dont remember how to switch branches with ronivays script. You can deploy a new xo with my script. take a backup of your current xo's config from the settings > xo config. Deploy new xo and import the config. To swith branchs on my script use the steps i stated above - edit the xo-config.cfg file from master to xo6/fix-opening-console-in-new-tab and then run update and update to that xo branch.

@acebmxer Hi "Ace". So what I did was exactly what you were suggesting. I created my XOS from a video from Tom Lawrence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuS7tSOxcSo). So yes...in that Folder I shared above...there's a .cfg file. I changed the ' BRANCH="master" ' to the path Julien & you shared, then ran an update from the xo-install.sh script. It now works. It's basically the same view as doing the "full screen" view, but just in another browser tab. Thank you for the assist! I'm going to change it back to the "master" now though cuz it's the same view I currently have..just in the same browser window.

@coolsport00

Glad to help. Yes you can switch back to master and wait for vates to push the changes to master branch. I also started out with ronivays script from Tom Lawrence's video also.

Feel free to check out my script if you like.

@acebmxer Thank you!

Will check our your script...thanks!
