[Users] oVirt 3.2.1 and clone from snapshot.... argh...!!!

Hello, in my opinion 3.2.1 for fedora 18 doesn't contain this: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/ that was one of the biggest problems of 3.2 see also this thread of mine: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-February/012653.html I had to recompile 3.2 in the mean time and after update to 3.2.1 I have again the same problems: - clone from snapshot blocked white window - snapshot details pane no information for network and disks So this update was totally worthless for me and I have to recompile again 3.2.1.... bad! Gianluca

Hi Gianluca, I checked the code of 3.2 and you are right, the patch was not pushed there. Although it seems that the origin fix exists in 3.2, I will send a patch to fix that. Regards, Maor On 03/19/2013 05:41 PM, Gianluca Cecchi wrote:

If possible it would be great to have upcoming el6 3.2.1-beta1 rpms set already patched with this .... Gianluca

In the mean time I confirm that I rebuilt 3.2.1 with that patch and - clone from snapshot works now - general, disks and network details are present in snapshot details pane now I take the occasion to point two things 1) this is not new and I also noted many times in 3.2 too. The first time you connect to web admin gui, the very first operation that involves opening a new window, you get a non responsive white window with the circle in the middle If you close that window (the x at top right) and soon redo the same operation, the window popups correctly Probably I notice more this because I'm using oVirt all-in-one with my Home pc and I reboot it every day.... 2) when you make a clone from snapshot, if you don't set a name for the clone and press ok, nothing happens and you can have the impression that the window is waiting for something.... it could be better if after pressing the "ok" button and the user has not selected a name, a message pop ups remembering that it is a necessary condition to put a name for the clone... Actually there is something that changes: the surrounding line of the input field for the clone name changes colour, but as the line is very thin I didn't notice it at first (add that I'm somewhow colour-blind and you'll better understand my problem ... ;-) Cheers, Gianluca

Adding Timothy to the thread. Remove live snapshot is not supported yet, but it's in the roadmap. For now VM must be shut down before removing a snapshot. On 03/19/2013 07:11 PM, Gianluca Cecchi wrote:

Hello, I see that 3.2.2 is expected next week. Are we sure this patch went into? Any prebuilt rpms I can test against eventually? It would be a pain having for the third time (after 3.2.0 and 3.2.1) this feature not available in stock rpm repo and I didn't read anything blocking it. I also proposed to include its testing in testing cycle so that it could arise there before release. .. Cheers, Gianluca

Hi Gianluca, I see in that the hash (7612977fbbd3f5ba9ac68cae2fe88a30577ed732) exists in the branch there for it should get in the next build, Just to be on the safe side, Moran, can u please re-verify it. Regards, Maor On 04/24/2013 07:14 PM, Gianluca Cecchi wrote:
