Found another issue testing, or maybe it's known behavior? This is in both v6 and v5 webUI -- if I create a new Linux VM from an Ubuntu 24 Template I created, and I installed xe-guest-utilities (v.7.20.2-0ubuntu1) in the Template, the web UI does not display the IP under the Network tab in v5, nor when clicking the 'eye' in the Networking tab in v6.

But, if I install the guest utilities via the guest-iso via the cdrom (v.7.30.0-19_amd64.deb) in XOS, the IP then shows. Is there a different utilties pkg to install in Ubuntu, or just go the cdrom route?

The Windows guest agent downloaded from github, after install, shows IP in Network tab for Win VMs.

Thanks!

@julienXOvates Hi Julien. Sorry for the late response. Yep...that did it.. Sorry I didn't try that initially (I even rebooted my XO VM & still didn't fix it initially). I was hesitant to close out my browser because of all tabs/sessions I'm working on hahaha

But yep...that worked. Thanks!

Found my v5 URL. Yep...that UI seems fine:

Also...I performed an update yesterday afternoon and ever since then...my XO v6 webUI spins now as well:

I had a tab open with my v5 web UI & it seemed to work, but I closed it and can't remember the URL to get back to it. But I think the v5 UI is fine. The reason I ask for the v5 URL is because the "XO-5" link in the v6 UI is now not clickable. Anyone else having this issue?

UPDATE: I ran another XO update on my XOS VM, and still have same behavior in v6 web UI

BTW @julienxovates - the same behavior happens in XO-Lite, but even when going to the Console tab normally, not opening in a 2nd tab. It just spins:

Has been happening for quite a while. I just don't get in XO-Lite often so have never mentioned it. Thanks!

@acebmxer Thank you!

Will check our your script...thanks!

@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.

@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"?

@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

@julienXOvates Thank you Julien...really appreciate it.

@Greg_E Hi Greg...thanks for the info.

@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!

@acebmxer Thank you for confirming as well "Ace". And, I am also running XO from Sources, same build (4 commits behind is all)

@julienxovates - playing around some more in XO6. I have quite a list I want to submit for feature enhancements (needs, really). One you all already have is being able to open a VM Console in another Tab. I attempted to but it keeps spinning & Console never displays:

I'm using Brave browser. Sometimes this particular browser can cause issues loading pages because of its security. But, I also tried Chrome and same behavior. Thoughts?

@julienXOvates ah, ok...that makes sense re: vGPU

And that's great to hear about V2V. I wanna say I can't believe Broadcom did that....but yet, that's all they've been doing the past 2yrs is "hosing" their customer base so it's not surprising. Looking fwd to seeing what you all come up with.

@olivierlambert - I'm sure you all (I hope) heard the news Broadcom took down access to its VMware SDDK Toolkit, which of course is a vital part of your V2V Migration tool. That will greatly affect migration ability, or lack thereof, for quite a few potential customers. Are you all in the works for a new migration strategy? I was able to install VDDK on my XO on Sources a while back so I currently have it. But, if I do "pull the trigger" and choose XCP to migrate to for my org, this will be a big deal. And granted, any solution out there has this issue. Just curious of your thoughts on this horrific development from Broadcom....

@julienxovates - you have any "insider info" on when virtual GPU (vGPU) passthrough will be able to be implemented? Not regular GPU passthrough, but virtual...and with NVIDIA. (my preference) I guess I can use some other card (recommendations appreciated) until it is supported. Is that moreso on the Citrix Xen side of your OS, or some other road block?

Second question - when do you all plan to implement V2V in XO6?..specifically V2V from VMW. That would be a nice & strong add-in imo.

Thanks.

@julienXOvates Great, thanks Julien!

Hi Vates Dev folks. I have a suggestion on the XO6 UI - when you click an object in the left navigation pane, then select a view on the right (VMs, Storage, or Network for example), can you make the various column headers sortable? Would be nice to be able to sort column headers when wanting to look for various data in a given view. Thanks!

@tjkreidl Yeah...we have a "DLS" licensing server to license "virtual apps" of connections to the VMs. Not horribly expensive, but another layer of complexity (at times) & of course a nuiscance

I don't know....will be looking into this more. Whether XCP or PVE, at the moment...this is my limitation. We have Cisco Voice VMs. Not sure if you're aware, but those are only supported on VMW, or Cisco's own appliance system. What a crap show! So, we'll have to continue to run a bit of VMW for those even if most of our VMs are migrated to something else. At the very least, I can probably still run my VDI/RDS VMs 1 more additional yr until 2028 until this gets better support.

Thanks for the info & convo
