    • RE: Cannot import OVA from VirtualBox

      @dgmcdona I am using both the XOA enterprise and the community edition.

      I updated the community edition of XOA to the newest version using the script that is on github , I linked to the script in my last post. Does that pull in the fix or do I have to apply a patch within XOA? I am confused as to what a github pull request is.. I am a noob at this clearly. I do run the community and it's updated. What else do I need to do to apply the patched code to my XOA community instance?

      Thanks!

    • RE: Cannot import OVA from VirtualBox

      Greetings all

      browser - Brave (Chromium 85.0.4183.102)
      XOA community edition - updated today via script

      xo-server 5.66.2
      xo-web 5.70.0

      I am also having this issue. It's an ova file from virtualbox - I created it back in 2018 , if that is part of the problem?

      Here is my error log:

      I do see this line

      DOMException: The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems
      

      What perms do I need to set on the ova to let it read this ova and import? I regret that I can not share the ova file as it is private but I can try and debug perhaps?

      Here is the error log from XOA Enterprise (I run both VMs) when trying to import the same file.
      xo-server 5.64.1
      xo-web 5.67.0

      Anything else I can provide to help debug, lmk. Thank you.

      Edit - I attempted to import via the windows xen center and that also failed to import. I can attach logs if you tell me how, but I think xen center is another dev team. I might need to somehow convert my ova file from 2018 to a newer standard somehow?

      The private ova file is a debian 8 system with the default gui install. It has a VMDK as it's disk format.. I am fairly certain I would have set that up as dynamically allocated.

    • RE: Blank Screen CentOS 8 in fresh xcp-ng 8 installation

      @MichaelCropper
      I was struggling with this also. A class I am taking I wanted to set up a CentOS 8 VM.
      I used CentOS 8.1.1911-x86_64-boot.iso for the install.
      Using the graphical installer I just accepted the default group which for this ISO is "Server with GUI"
      I also installed the "Development Tools" package (not that I think that matters for this issue)
      When I booted I got the "black screen of death" (it now has official name lol)
      I did a shutdown graceful shutdown of VM.
      I went to the "Advanced" tab and switched from VGA 8 to VGA 16 (VGA was on by default).
      When I created the VM I used the CentOS 8 template btw.
      I rebooted the screen and.. yup I got the GUI login screen!

      I hope this helps.

      ps make sure you install those xen tools right away and then reboot.. otherwise , it's painful. 😉
