[Feature Request] Add an option to start the vm if it's not booted when starting the app #16

Open vega-d opened 2 years ago

vega-d commented 2 years ago

It would be handy to have a Start VM button on the main page, so if cassowary starts and sees there's no server running the user can start the VM with one click of a button instead of opening virt-manager.

Should i add a button on main page or check if vm is switched off and offer user to switch it on in the popup dialog ? ( This will show up if vm is off instead of connection error message that is shown now )

it doesn't appear to work at all. Also limiting the timeout to at least 5 minutes is stupid, why would I want it to wait 5 minutes?

https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary/issues/10 Maybe you wanted to comment here, on the 5 minute thing i think it was a mistake while adding the gui widget ! I will check again on my system if i can get autosuspend to work and work o it !

Hello there, i have added a dialog that will be shown when application is started without booting the VM and allows user to turn it on. ( The first app launch may fail as VM can take some time to boot and we don't know if it has completed boot process ).

I will also add a toggle to start VM without prompting the user before next update !
