Description Gene Czarcinski 2014-11-30 17:15:16 UTC

Description of the problem:
An then there is the name used for the virtual disk file. Previously, the name
of the virtual system was used and it was pretty easy to determine what image
was associate with what virtual system.  Now, the type and version of the
installed OS is being used as the base name for the image file.  Now, I have
to use the storage connection details to figure out usage.

Response by Cole Robinson:
Hmm. The disk image name is supposed to match the name of the VM, and the defualt VM name was changed to match the chosen OS. There might be a bug here where we don't change the generated disk image name if the user changes the VM name from the default. Please file a virt-manager bug, with full steps to reproduce, and virt-manager --debug output when reproducing.

I set the severity to urgent because virt-manager is now getting confused about the virt disk file names and reusing names it should not.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.1.0-4.git310f6527.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a new Fedora 21 virtual system
2.change the name of the system from Fedora21 to test21
3.do the install

Actual results:
virtual disk file is named some variation of fedora21.img

Expected results:
virtual disk file is named some variation of test21.img

Comment 2 Gene Czarcinski 2014-12-04 16:45:55 UTC

OK, it looks like you have a lot of updates in the git repository after that which is in Fedora 21 or the fedora-virt-preview ... perhaps too many for a day-zero or day-one update.  So, if I want to see this fixed anyh time soon, it means that I will need to build my own rpms.

What do you recommend?

1) current plus just the two updates commit 4a678f05439da9f17c8cd89f22a59df1b27eddd6 and commit 01d6541f69fca943b2b13717187eae709396567c

or 2) "go for it" and apply them all as of today?

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2014-12-04 16:47:46 UTC

The two commits should be simple backports so I'd recommend that

Though I'm hoping to cut a new virt-manager release within the next two weeks and push that to f21
