Description Jiří Koten 2012-05-17 15:31:18 UTC 
Cannot create VM from Fedora 17 Live Media USB stick. Boxes get stuck on "Analyzing installer media".

Also when I cancel the installation and get back on the boxes overview and click on Fedora 17 box (the one it should create from Live Media) it crashes the boxes.

Steps:
1) start boxes
2) insert Live Media
3) Choose the Live OS when creating new box

ABRT report for the boxes crash. It happened after I click on the Fedora 17 box, which was cancelled during installation.

I have filed a separate bug for the boxes crash - see bug 676308.
Comment 3 Zeeshan Ali 2012-06-06 02:49:31 UTC 
After staring at the code for a bit, I see the issue in vm-creator.vala:

<code>
        var domain = connection.create_domain (config);
        domain.start (0);

        var machine = app.add_domain (app.default_source, app.default_connection, domain);
</code>

So if domain.start() call fails, we don't delete the created domain. This problem is solved in one of the patches (attachment#215705 [details]) to bug#674209.

Zeeshan, should we close this then?

The patch that fixes this has not been merged yet so no.

Marking as a duplicate also counts as "closing"

Well, the bug isn't really a duplicate. Its just a coincidence that we address this in *one* of the patches in that bug so 'depends' is a more correct relationship.
Comment 8 Zeeshan Ali 2012-06-26 16:16:19 UTC 
This should be fixed with bug#674209 fixed.
