Description Allan Day 2016-12-22 17:09:48 UTC
There's a RHEL developer ISO available to download at this location:

https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/get-started/

When installing it in GNOME Boxes, express install isn't offered as an option. It would be really great if it could be, as this would dramatically cut down the amount of work in installing it as a VM.

I was advised by developers on the GNOME Boxes IRC channel that this was a libosinfo issue.

Comment 1 Fabiano Fidêncio 2016-12-22 17:43:00 UTC
As found out by Christophe and mentioned in the libosinfo mailing list, the strings in the ISO header are 32 bytes long and padded with spaces (0x20), but nothing in on on_pvd_read()/on_svd_read() is removing these padding spaces.

I'm cooking up a patch for this that will be sent to the mailing list soon.

Comment 2 Fabiano Fidêncio 2016-12-23 09:06:35 UTC
Here's the libosinfo commit fixing the issue: https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/libosinfo/commit/a75dc46e27cedb4562719c00661376c153fb83d2

And here's the osinfo-db commit working the issue around till we have a libosinfo release: https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/commit/3ca9c9e2bfc7e3114858bcb33cdddc87230b7816
