GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 688787
Useless "connection failed" error
Last modified: 2016-03-31 14:00:06 UTC
Created attachment 229557 [details] boxes screenshot gnome-boxes-3.6.2-1.fc18.x86_64 "Connection to ...iso failed" Plenty wrong with the handling. First, the animation to grow the screen grab gets cancelled mid-flight, and that looks pretty bad. Make it grow to the full size, and show the error there (with the only option to go back). The second problem is that error reporting should give enough information to the user to be able to fix the problem. In this case, I have no idea what the problem could be from the message. The fact that I can't get to VM itself also means I can't gather information about the VM. Finally, why does it fail?
The final problem is solved, see bug 688793. You can reproduce all the above by moving the ISO file for a live CD away.

We don't do that animation anymore so thats not an issue any more.
Rest of the bug is pretty much duplicate of bug#688793 so I'll mark this as obsolete.
