@olivierlambert Hi Olivier,

Working on putting 8.2.1 on a HM80 right now moving from Unraid, and it's giving me the following error at about 50% through Completing Installation:

Failed to run efibootmgr: Could not prepare Boot variable Input/output error

I've tried several times, and tested with the alternate kernel, but it's hanging at 46% for a minute, then getting to 50% and giving the error shortly after. Not sure if this is something on my end, or if it's a difference between 8.3 and 8.2.1, but would love an assist if you've done some testing with 8.2.1 as well. Removing the USB and rebooting anyway seems to not give any issues until I try to log in, at which point the password I set before doesn't allow me to get in to anything.

Loving the experience of using XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra on the whole, but I use the HM80 as a portable server for LAN parties, and because of that it's one of my more important ones (and unfortunately I'm 2 days out from one of said LAN parties, so hopefully this is a nice quick one to dig into and solve).

Will also test out 8.3 Beta 2 to see if I have the same working out of the box like you said it did for you, but as it's the server that actually has some use a production vs 'if this goes down so be it', I'd have preferred it to stay on stable.

Edit: Looks like 8.3 Beta 2 is working out of the box despite 8.2.1 not doing so. Would love to know the reason why, but I'm just glad this is at least working.

Hi everyone,

I've just started dabbling in using XCP-NG and XO for my lab, and in the process have moved from XOA to XO. I didn't expect many differences between the two, but least of all that I expected was some minor stability issues (seems to have settled down now) and performance issues. When I say performance issues, I mean when I'm adjusting settings or adding tags etc, it regularly takes between 10 and 30 seconds for the change to show up properly. I'm not sure if this is a difference in how they're intended or an issue with my configuration, or if it's simply that my hardware isn't enough to handle the increased load of running it in a full VM.

Hardware is an Intel i5-10210U with 16GB of RAM, VM is Debian 12 with KDE, running on 4vCPUs and 4GB RAM, and I followed Tom Lawrence's guide for getting XO set up with the XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script; happy to provide any other details as needed, though depending on what I may need an assist to know how to get it if it's software or configuration related, as I'm more comfortable with hardware than software.

As an added note, I've had some issues where the login credentials have been resetting when the VM has crashed and/or I've needed to do a hard power off of the host; not sure if that's partially because the VM hasn't properly saved things, or if there's something else I'm missing to get those to save, so any assistance there would be appreciated as well if there's something I can do to fix it.

Much appreciation to anyone with suggestions, explanations, or advice.

Regards,
Josh
