Description Jens Petersen 2012-10-05 04:06:43 UTC

Description of problem:
It would be nice if virt-manager tried to be a little clever
and guess OS type from the iso name or URL given to it.
If I am installing Fedora-*.iso there is a reasonable chance
that the OS is Linux/Fedora.

This RFE is kind of an extension of bug 736951 ...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup an install from a Fedora iso or url
  
Actual results:
1. virt-manager doesn't default OS type to Linux/Fedora

Expected results:
1. default to Linux

ISO filenames are somewhat unreliable, but it is possible to identify OS from the metadata fields in the ISO filesystem. libosinfo provides APIs & information required todo this.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2012-10-14 01:03:31 UTC

Thanks for the report, I'm just gonna fold this into the 'use libosinfo' report

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2012-10-18 12:27:39 UTC

Ok thanks.


(On a somewhat related note I was wondering also
why Linux is listed as the last choice?)

Yeah that's weird, I fixed it upstream:
