virt-manager New Virtual System Wizard memory issues
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:43 EST
Description of problem: Whenever I try to create a new virtual machine instance with the new virtual system wizard and it gets to the point to define start up and max memory, no matter what size I put in, it uses the default remaining available memory. I have to go back and edit the /etc/xen/machineX config file to fix the memory="" block afterwards. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.2.1-1 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. lauch virt-manager and connect to the local xen instance 2. Click on the "New" button. 3. Define the device and set to Fully Virtualized 4. Set up a simple file for drive. 5. Define the Max and Start up memory to 256 Actual results: Once you complete the wizard, it starts the new virtual system, but with the maximum default memory left and not the amount defined in the wizard. Expected results: System should be started with amount of memory defined in the wizard. Additional info:
The fix for this issue is already being worked on. It wasn't dealing with change events in the spinbox correctly - if you type in memory it won't pick it up, but if you use the up/down buttons it works as desired. Will update this ticket again when I push a new errata to rawhide.
This is fixed in rawhide, virt-manager-0.2.2-1
