Description Florian Weimer 2013-12-17 11:53:03 UTC
When creating a new VM based on an USB stick, after clicking on "New", "Continue", selecting "sdb", the contents of the gnome-boxes window stays black.  The next step (with the "Create" button) only appears if I switch to another application and switch back.

This was observed on an HP 635 laptop with AMD graphics, and gnome-boxes-3.8.3-2.el7.

Sounds like a clutter/gtk issue.

Not sure if I am able to follow your instructions. How are you exactly starting usb based VM? I think this functionality was removed from RHEL7, wasn't it?

At the time I wrote the bug report, gnome-boxes would react to plugged-in USB sticks (with a bootable operating system on them)  and offer to start them as a new VM.

ok, then I am closing this one.
