Add helper functions to properly set up the cdrom combo widgets. Separate
the dbus polling from UI editting: eventually we will get some of this info
from libvirt hostdev APIs, and this will help.
Currently we connect to dbus and poke sysfs to find local net devices and
bridges: unfortunately we do this everytime _any_ connection object is
initialized. This floods the debug logs, and is complete overkill, since
net devices are associated with the host and not a connection.
Run the initialization once (at app startup) and carry around only one
instance of the polling code.
If opening a connection R/W fails, we currently fallback to readonly. This
isn't very transparent and is likely not what the user wants (full R/W or
a useful error message why not). This has caused a lot of confusion and
bug reports, so let's drop it.
This patch makes virt-manager remember last used paths for disk images, saved
snapshots, restored snapshots, media paths and also screenshot paths not to
bother users with changing paths from the default location per HV technology.
Useful when installing multiple domains and having all the media/image files
in non-default locations.
It is essentially a glorified file chooser, so give it dialog behavior.
(like associating with a parent window, and being able to be the top window
above other dialogs like the CD chooser).
Switch max mem to abide current mem value, not the other way around: most
people are only interested in the current allocation.
Also, tweak the spin button climb rate and step size to be a bit more useful.
The Processor tab in VM details was not showing at all because of exception.
The exception occured everytime the tab was selected because of call to non
existing function get_type() that has been renamed to get_hv_type() in the
newest version of virt-manager's code by revision 1135.
We currently have it backwards, so a sparse request actually asks for
nonsparse. We didn't see this much, since until recently virtinst wasn't
allowing nonsparse volume allocation.
We add a new gconf level for per connection and per VM preferences, at
/apps/virt-manager/connection_prefs/{URI}/vms/{UUID}
Hostname specific prefs are stored at:
/apps/virt-manager/connection_prefs/hosts/{HOSTNAME}
The URI does a simple s|/|-|g to simplify things a bit. If a VM specific
preference hasn't been set, we use the global preference.
Worked at some point, but now everytime the vmm-create file is saved in
a new glade version (as on rawhide), the naming gets wiped out and the
wizard won't even launch.
