bug: qubes vm-manager qubes 3.2 current: Unable to rename VM to "ReactOS-Reference"
ludwig jaffe
Problem:
I installed reactos into a new standalone template vm and thought I could derive user vms as in linux based. But this did not work, maybe I dont know howto do.
So as a work-around I wanted to make a reference reactos and clone it for different tasks.
So renaming it to "ReactOS-Reference" failed!
The /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/ReactOS-Reference folder
got renamed properly but the Qube VM Manager did not find the VM
and threw an error.
"Errno 2 No such file or directory"
"
fill_apps_list line no.:71
...appmenu_select.py"
and some more.
To get it running again one had to rename the directory var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/ReactOS-Reference to the original name displayed in Qubes VM Manager.
So the directory listing should be enhanced to parse more complicated directory names, or renaming should be masked in order not to allow "illegal" directory names.
Cheers,
Ludwig

too quick: rename did not help, as there are uuids which are double and some
xml based config files.
So make a new vm and copy over the images as editing xml with vim is a pain.
