Description Vera Budikova 2013-04-30 15:31:34 UTC 
Version: gnome-boxes-3.8.0-1.fc19.x86_64

Description of problem:
It is possible to duplicate VMs, e.g. Libvirt connection using qemu:///session duplicates VMs.


Steps to reproduce
1. Type into terminal 'gnome-boxes'
2. Click on New -> Continues -> Enter URL
3. Enter collection URI qemu:///session and click on Continue.
4. Click on Create button.

Actual results:
4. Source Selection section is shown.
5. Duplicated VMs are shown in collection view with the same name.

Expected results:
4. Source Selection section is shown.
5. VMs are not duplicated.

It should not be possible to have duplicated VMs.

There are two things boxes could do:
- detect duplicate sources (remote URL or broker URL)
- detect duplicate machines/display (using their UUID)

The latter will be more robust as there are various broker URLs that can lead to the same server (DNS name VS IP for example), so detecting duplicate source is not necessarily trivial

I mean URI source as in the ~./config/gnome-boxes/sources/ files [source] uri
