Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

[olivierlambert]

So there's something different in VM creation between the two that makes UEFI boot not working

Thanks for the feedback, we'll try to reproduce internally and if confirmed, fixing it

@olivierlambert Thank you for looking into it Olivier; and...not that you all have extra time on your hands... ...but if you could enable being able to configure Host networking in XO-Lite, I think that would be a semi-urgent feature to release as well. Thanks.

@olivierlambert
When created with XO-Lite, secure boot is enabled but when created with XO5 secure boot is disabled.

XO-Lite:

XO 5

@ph7 where are you seeing secure boot in XO-Lite? I don't even have that option After creating a VM in XO-Lite, I see boot settings and Secure Boot is shown as Disabled

[ph7]

@coolsport00
I created the VM in Lite, then checked in XO5

[coolsport00]

@ph7 Ah, ok

@coolsport00
Here is a hint in xo 5 when the newly created vm is running.

[olivierlambert]

Are we still talking about the same template? VM config depends entirely on the template selected

@olivierlambert
It is the same pool.

The Alpine one is added from XOA

To be precise, The non working VM created in XO-Lite is not running, it is when it get stuck while trying to boot.

Hello.
I spotted a small bug in the XO-Lite system page: Secure boot was always showing Disabled I'll fix this issue soon.

According to my tests, your VM isn't booting because Secure Boot is enabled, but your pool isn't configured for it.
If I remember correctly, in XO 5, Secure Boot is disabled by default, but in XOLite, if your template sets "platform.secureboot" to true or auto, the VM will be created with Secure Boot enabled.
Can you confirm that if you disable Secure Boot on your VM, it boots correctly?

ping @lsouai-vates to plane the possibility to enable/disable secure boot in the XOLite/XO6 UI, and possibly transform auto to false if the pool isn't compatible. Or at least, as in XO 5, warn the user

@MathieuRA
Yes, I can confirm if I disable the Secure boot option the VM will start.
After a quick flash of the pxe boot screen, the Debian installer will appear, and I can continue the installation.

@ph7 @coolsport00 thanks for the report, this topic will be adressed in our roadmap very soon.

@lsouai-vates Great! Thanks for addressing this
