Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-virtinst
virtinst is the background python based application to perform installs in
virt-manager, we all know this. The selection of a new install from
virt-manager produces the first wizzard screen. Having finally got into a xen
environment, I make this selection. The package actually appears to
deliberately RESTRICT the capability of an install to the middle choice,
network install. There are three options, the first and third are greyed out
when selecting xen.
Selecting kvm or qemu or the test://default allows all three options.
This can't be right. No sensible reason why xen should be resticted. To use a
cdrom or dvd, unable to make the selection.
Once restricted only to network install, you are obliged to designate the cdrom
or dvd drive as a network device. I've tried every possible combination and it
is never achieved. So you can't do an install at all by cdrom or dvd, which is
crazy.
The only possible option is an internet based install, which leads to
the next set of problems.
The expected outcome ofcourse is to have all three options available, which
allows the choice of a full virt install via cd or dvd.
It works spot on in SUSE.
You can manage install by using virt-install from a console or shell, but via
virt-manager, no.
The package is python-virtinst 0.400.3-4ubuntu1, in karmic ubuntu latest
release.
