storaged-project / blivet-gui Goto Github PK

I had issue storaged-project/blivet#919, so I clicked the "Report bug" button.
Abrt opens and I can report the bug there.

However – that is broken because of usability reasons.

Bug reporting bug

Also, BTW, the "Report a bug" button is useless/broken, as it opens the gnome-abrt GUI when cloicked and I can report a bug there, but clicking that button does nothing…
… oh wait… it seems I have to wait for several seconds and it then has collected data.

Buuut…, it seems to exit/crash soon after that and thus abrt cannot find the files anymore at some step. The slower I am when clicking through that, the likelier the dir is already removed:

So effectively it removes the dir faster than I can use it for reporting the bug.

Hi, Thanks a lot for this wonderful tool I've just discovered.
It would be useful if one could chose the mount point of a software RAID during or after its creation.
All the best !

Tests should be able to detect issues like #237

Hello, I created Slovak translation on zanata, and found that a lot of texts is not translatable.
For example:

• Resize
• Modify parents
• Set mountpoint
• No pending actions
• Pending actions
• x pending actions
• [127] create device partition xxx (id 123)
• partition icon tooltips - Encrypted device, Empty device, Group device
• icon tooltips - Add new device, Delete selected device, Edit selected device...

I checked source code and found, that some of non-translatable texts are situated in .ui files on folder data/ui/
Please fix, and update pot file to zanata, so everyone can translate all texts in app.

Deprecated contructors, see https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/InitializerDeprecations

(Currently affects only rawhide builds.)

How can I use this tool on ubuntu or debian?

Cheers

Right now, clicking Reload Storage results in a state that looks like if the application was frozen. The same dialog as when starting the application should be shown I think.

This shouldn't be much difficult with the right kickstart file and the livecd-creator tool... It should have a light desktop (Openbox or similar) and all the needed command-line tools

I think this would give a lot more visibility to this project towards the community (I'm thinking in distrowatch, etc)

I run fedora 27 and wanted to use blivet-gui to set up a cached lvm volume, encrypted. https://storageapis.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/blivet-gui_lvm-cache.png indicates a nice way of configuring the caching; but in blivet-gui 2.1.7 I cannot find these advanced options.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create lvmlv
2. "Undo"
3. Create new lvmlv on same vg

Despite this, new lv is created properly...

Could Blivet-GUI use the default filesystem type of the storage? Then we could remove the line below from Anaconda. Otherwise, it would be useful to be able to use the client for getting this value.

From pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/blivet_gui.py:
config.default_fstype = self._storage.default_fstype

Right now if I want to create a new partition in blivet-gui there seems to be no way to not create a new file system on it.

I had terrible trouble after activating Blivet-gui on Fedora 25, it seems to create a Device at "/dev/mapper/b***", which should reference a non-existent RAID. Additionally I lost all device-files for a previous LVM-Set i created. The Application crashes when started with an Error referencing this "RAID-Device". Well, not bad enough?...After removing blivet-gui, the device remained activated and did not allow to successfully create new Drive-Partitions on my other HDs. This App is a Killer for my old Volumes, not recommended to use it

In the partition creation dialog it is possible to input a mountpoint for an extended partition. This value seems to be ignored afterwards (it does not show up in the partition listing).

(I’m aware that bliviet-gui can’t currently create new LVM cache disks, but this is a separate and smaller issue.)

lvdisplay doesn’t list an LV’s cache pool as a separate LV. There is no doubt that there is a cache pool attached when you look at the output of a cached LV in lvmdisplay; it takes twice the screen space as a regular LV. However this information is totally lost when you look at bliviet-gui. However, I believe it would be much clearer if bliviet-gui would list cache pools as separate devices underneat their attached LVs in bliviet-gui’s Logical View for an LVM.

The extended options menu should probably not be displayed for GPT partitions as it can only set partition type to "primary" and there is no other option than "primary".

Though they appear to have identical purpose and function, the menu displayed when clicking the "Edit selected device" toolbar button has a completely different ordering from the "Edit" submenu of the device's context menu. That's just confusing, and forces the user to have to search for the option they're looking for each time through, because it isn't always where they expect it to be.

Screenshots from blivet-gui installed via blivet-gui-2.1.12-1.fc31.noarch RPM on Fedora 31:

(OK, it's just one item moved in the ordering, but that results in every option except the first two (Edit: and the last) being in a different place in each of the two menus.)

The installation via pip seems to be successful:
pip3 install --user -e ./

1. Add two 1 TB PVs to a new VG. Add one LV of 1 TB of type RAID1 to that VG. You now have two identical disks and have consumed all available space in that VG.
2. Open blivet-gui and select your VG.

Logical View will display one LV of 1 TB and incorrectly show 1 TB of “free space”.

You can create new LVs in that free space. I’ve not tested what happens if you attempt that.

I run blivet-gui on Linux Arch with the latest versions of blivet and blivet-gui. I have ext4 and btrfs partitions. blivet-gui crashes at start with following exception:

This problem was reported to blivet: storaged-project/blivet#288

It will be nice if blivet-gui can ignore invalid disks instead of crashing or hanging. Details of this bug is already provided in the blivet bug report.

Readme states that "Main dependencies include blivet, libblockdev and libbytesize. Note that these are probably not packaged for other distributions than Fedora." which seems to be no longer the case for libraries according to https://repology.org/metapackage/libbytesize/versions and https://repology.org/metapackage/libblockdev/versions So the only real showstopper is blivet itself.

Hi

Any plans to update the repository to get it compatible with the fresh new Ubuntu 20.04 ?

Thanks

Vincèn

For consistency reasons it should be possible to set mountpoint for btrfs if it is used as format for a newly created partition.

blivet-gui fails to display a VG under the LVM header in the sidebar when one of the PVs of the VG is missing. I had a drive die on me (a cache disk). The LVM started working again after I lvremoved the cache pool, but it still didn’t show up in blivet-gui. It only reappeared there after I removed the PV from the VG.

bliviet-gui should still display a troubled LVM and identify the problem; and ideally even let users fix the problem.

Steps to reproduce: Setup a VG consisting of two PVs. Add a LV on one of the PVs and setup the other PV as a cache for the LV on the first PV. Then remove the PV with the cache.

Implement privilege separation so that the GUI runs as an unprivileged user while the backend runs as root.

I have a "standard" Fedora 31 install. I started from a LiveCD, install blivet-gui and when I click on the swap partition I get the error: "Unknown Error -- swap has no attribute relabels" and the following traceback:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blivetgui/list_partitions.py", line 312, in on_partition_selection_changed

Any action I take on any lv in the same pv results in the exact same error (always complaining about the swap volume).

The Resize option is unavailable (greyed out) even though free space is available for increasing lvmlm size. This remains true even for a non-system (not root or home) lvmlv when it is unmounted.

Are there conditions under which the Resize option is available/unavailable?

Currently using blivet-gui version 2.1.13 on Fedora 32.

Hello!

It tries to look up /dev/md/md128p1 but that does not exist, on the other hand /dev/md/128p1 does exist

I am guessing there's confusion in the code somewhere on whether or not to prefix with md, but I could not find where.

I am relunctant to sharing full logs because they contain lots of sensitive information, I think what I sent should be sufficient.

Thank you!

A btrfs volume cannot be deleted until all subvolumes are deleted. As the subvolumes have to be deleted one by one, this can be very annoying if you have many of them (for example created by snapper or timeshift).

Deleting the parent volume should ask for permission to auto-remove existing subvolumes.

To reproduce, fire up a the Fedora installer in a VM and choose "Advanced Partitioning (Blivet Gui)". Create a Btrfs Volume with some subvolumes and try to delete the parent volume. See attached screenshots.

A. Btrfs Volume with subvolumes has 'Delete' deactivated.

B. Btrfs Volume without subvolumes can be deleted

I am forwarding a redhat bug here because it's been stale for a while and wondering if anyone checks the bugtracker for blivet-gui at all.

blivet-gui currently has only one log -- the blivet-utils-log to log BlivetUtils function calls. Unfortunately actions like changing a mountpoint for a device in installer mode are not logged, because there is no function call, it just sets the mountpoint property. This makes debugging issues like #119 quite hard because these changes made by user are not logged.

Testing on a virtual machine booted via PXE or ISO image I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Probably this is because there is no traditional block device attached. /dev/sr0 (which is usually r/o, so ok to skip) or /dev/nbd0 (network block device, can be writable) is attached though.

In any case blivet-gui should give any kind of information and do not crash.

I am trying to build blivet-gui on ubuntu (as the ppa is almost empty).

Until now I have tried:

sudo apt-get install python-gobject python-gi intltool build-essentials
make
sudo make install
sudo python setup.py install

And I currently get (with or without sudo)

> blivet-gui
Traceback (most recent call last):

I've recently used blivet GUI to resize an LVM partition (shrink one and grow another one). See https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/583639/146739.
It had 4 tasks and it seems to be stuck and not go on.

The progress bar stayed at 0% for minutes.

SO IMHO, for UX reasons, you should have a better loading indicator. Maybe one that shows that the current task is still active.

As an example see how gparted does it.

I want to move to a bigger hard-drive and follow that 3-steps road:

1. dd if=sdb of=sdc from the current (small) drive to the destination one (all partition)
2. luks open /dev/sdc3 (using a distinct mapper-name)
3. rename/resize the LV (where blivet could be handy).

But Blivet fails as soon as duplicated UUID are detected:

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blivet/devicetree.py", line 181, in _add_device
    raise DuplicateUUIDError("Duplicate UUID '%s' found for devices: "
blivet.errors.DuplicateUUIDError: Duplicate UUID '4eac3870-d436-45e1-a32d-xxxx' found for devices: 'sdb1' and 'sdc1'.

Worth mentioning that in this case, these sd*1 partition are EFI System

I’m not sure if this fits in here, but if it doesn’t, it would be nice if you can point out where I can file this instead. :)

I own a laptop with a main SSD where all my mostly used files are on, and an additional HDD for storing some large chunks, backups and the like, which is just needed sparsely. Considering battery operation, it would be nice if the disk just spins up if I really need it. Therefore, would it be possible to mount a disk drive and unmount it later again, causing a spindown? Would be great if we could set this up in Anaconda, Blivet-GUI and Gnome-Disks. :)

Please add feature to visualize LV in PV, just like system-config-lvm

Similiar to pvdisplay -m but using gui

Thanks

Would be handy if blivet-gui would detect and assign correct id to partitions according to
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/

Step to reporduce

1. open blivet-gui application
2. force stop it, my case was the app is not responsive and fedora offers me to force close it.

I think the problem rely on the pid package which is in https://github.com/rhinstaller/blivet-gui/blob/master/blivet-gui-daemon#L102 stated that when there is an error creating a new pid object, it declare the app as still running. I think it should also checking, wether the pid is still being used by blivet-gui, if it does, then it is running, and if it is not, then should remove it and retry the file creation.

The problem is fixed by

sudo rm /var/run/blivet-gui-daemon.pid 

Hello, the Fedora project migrates its translation platform to Weblate [1].

This tool directly interact with your git repository, and requires us to know:

• [mandatory] which branch is your development branch?
• [mandatory] have you merged latest translation from Zanata and locked the project?
• [info] Weblate will handle updates when pot file changes, don't edit po files for this [2]
• [optional] what is the license of translation? (please use a code from https://spdx.org/licenses/)
• [optional] do you have any announcement/warning you would like to display to the translators? (it will be displayed in Weblate)
• [optional] do you need us to activate any specific checks? (this is a setting per component [3])
• [optional] do you need us to automatically detect new translation files? (typical usecase: website translation with one translation file per page)

Please note:

• For github hosted projects, Weblate open pull request. For other project, you'll have to add a key to allow commits.
• In Weblate's vocable, one project is a group of component. Each component is a translation file. You can have many projects or many components or both.
• You can change your mind over time, just reach [email protected]

In anaconda, we get a deprecation warning from blivetgui.

/tmp/anaconda.log:
10:41:21,358 WARN anaconda: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivetgui/osinstall.py:104: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Widget.reparent is deprecated

When adding an LVM storage, it is possible to select PE size larger than actual size of VG resulting in VG with size 0 B. (Smallest size for new LVM is 8 MiB, but largest size for PE is 64 MiB.)

Installation media (in this case a recent F26 netinst image loaded on a USB flash drive with FMW) is visible and can be manipulated in Blivet GUI. Interestingly, the installation media is not visible in the storage spoke.

Is there way and ability to port to BSD systems (GhostBSD, NomadBSD)?
Thanks
