Hi Paul,
Thanks for feedback of these issues.
The issues you mentioned are:
1. There is no convenient way to upload a image.
2. When image is uploaded, too complex to fix its permission and get it
work.
3. Warning msg disappear too quickly to see.
As 1 and 2 are related to a feature I'm working on, I want to share with
you our proposal and see if you like it from view of user:
1. convenient way to upload image:
(1) As flow of :
ISO server--download-->your laptop--upload-->your server
is too long, we will supply with a dialog to let users to fill a web
link and kimchi server will downloaded from the ISO server. So the flow
becomes:
ISO server--download-->your virtualization server
number of download sessions will be limited.
(2) An upload interface will also be provided if you want to upload ISO
from your laptop.
also number of sessions will be limited
2. complex permission fix problem:
A dedicate directory will created for ISOs, and this directory will be
monitored, if an ISO is scp to this directory, monitor will call a
script to change permission.
and for 3,
I think we can add a box to store historical error msg (10 items
restored), so that user won't miss the latest ones.
Aline,
If we are good with my proposal, can I add it to the plan of next print?

Is there a good location for documentation?
It seems difficult to make a new ISO available, or I chose a poor way.
- I downloaded from an FTP site requiring non-anonymous authentication
- I scp'd it to root@host
- I tried to use it from there, but I got permission denied
"KCHISO0008E: The hypervisor doesn't have permission to use this ISO
/root/..."
- the message above recommends copying the file to /var/lib/libvirt,
but I think you actually have to copy it to /var/lib/libvirt/images
- you also need to "chown qemu" the ISO image
After the above steps, it finally became visible and usable.
Further feedback:
- The above error message appears as a bright pop-over with a nice 'X'
for dismissing, but it automatically disappears so quickly, it's
impossible to read the entire message
- in the "Edit Template" dialog, what is "CPU Number"? I presume that
is "number of (virtual) processors"?
- in the "Edit Template" dialog, what are the units for "Memory"? It
is apparently megabytes, but that should be noted

Paul Clarke, IBM
