Gnome OS Nightly keeps re-appearing

Applications

In Boxes, 4 instances of Gnome OS Nightly will keep re-appearing after deleting them. Is this a known bug?

This was fixed months ago in the Flathub build of Boxes. The issue is that there’s a newer libvirt needed. I suggest using Boxes from Flathub as its the only one we can guarantee its functionality.

Thank you for the reply. Good to know. I’m currently using the Deb on Ubuntu. Are you aware whether the Snap version will have the same fix as the Flatpak?

Most likely it won’t, best to try and file an issue if it doesn’t work.

Thanks for the reply

You can manually remove this in the command-line with:

$ virsh list --all to identify what’s the domain name of your VM.
$ virsh undefine domain-name and $ virsh destroy domain-name (where domain-name is your gnome OS listed in the first command).

I hope it helps! You can also propose to your distributor to update the package.

Hi there, thanks for the reply!

I get some error messages when doing those commands:

$ virsh undefine gnomenightly
error: Failed to undefine domain gnomenightly
error: Requested operation is not valid: cannot undefine domain with nvram

$ virsh destroy gnomenightly
error: Failed to destroy domain gnomenightly
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running

ah, sorry, I forgot the extra argument virsh undefine --nvram it is.

Fixed! Thanks very much!
