GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 747857
no feedback when using a remote url
Last modified: 2018-01-11 10:15:42 UTC
I entered a remote url, and clicked create. I ended up in the overview with no indication that anything is happening, or that anything has gone wrong. Of course, no vm appeared :-( The logs have some errors that would be nice to be informed about: Apr 14 10:02:56 localhost.localdomain org.gnome.Boxes[1985]: (gnome-boxes:15273): Boxes-WARNING **: wizard.vala:451: source is not remote machine: qemu+ssh://mclasen@desktop-v Apr 14 10:03:26 localhost.localdomain org.gnome.Boxes[1985]: (gnome-boxes:15273): Boxes-WARNING **: wizard.vala:451: source is not remote machine: qemu+ssh://desktop-virthost1 Apr 14 10:03:30 localhost.localdomain org.gnome.Boxes[1985]: (gnome-boxes:15273): Boxes-WARNING **: libvirt-broker.vala:104: Unable to open qemu+ssh://desktop-virthost1.lab.bo A spinner would also be nice to indicate that something is still happening.
Hmm.. yeah I think we should connect to remote source as part of "preparation" step of wizard so that you get a spinner and also an error if connection fails. Moreover, if first time connection fails, we should ensure the source added is properly cleaned-up.
