[PVE-User] Edit: Boot Order mask

[Piviul]

I ask[¹] about this little problem on the forum but nobody found a 
solution, so I try here...

In my PVE the mask where I can change the Boot Order options of a VM is 
not ever the same. If I access to the mask from 2 nodes (say node1 and 
node2) the mask is a simple html form with only combo boxes. On the 
third node (say node3) the mask is more sophisticated, can support the 
drag and drop, has checkbox... in other word it's different. So I would 
like to know why my three nodes doesn't have the same mask even if they 
are at the same proxmox version and if there is a way that all nodes 
shows the same mask.

I ask you because this is not only a layout problem; if I modify the 
boot order options from the node3, I can see strange chars in the PVE 
gui of the other two nodes but if I configure the boot order options 
from node1 or node2 all seems works flawless.

Best regards

Piviul

Hi Piviul,

My guess would be that your nodes would have different versions of 
Proxmox packages. And not the same proxmox interface on each...

The best thing would be to have the complete version of each package 
wich 'pveversion -v', but a shorter first information is to display, and 
copy paste just version here ?
# pveversion

Thanks

Alain

I Alain, first of all thank you very much indeed to you and to all 
people answered this thread. I reply your message but the infos here 
should answer even the infos asked from Alwin...

I send directly the output differences from the command pveversion with 
-v flag because all three nodes show the same 
"pve-manager/6.3-6/2184247e (running kernel: 5.4.106-1-pve)" version.

So I have launched the following command in all three nodes:

# pveversion -v > pveversion.$(hostname)

obtaining 3 differents files and I've done the diff between the first 
two files (referring to pve01 and pve02) and as expected there is no 
difference:

$ diff pveversion.pve0{1,2}

Then I have done the diff between the first and the third node and this 
is the result:

$ diff pveversion.pve0{1,3}
5d4
< pve-kernel-5.3: 6.1-6
8,9c7
< pve-kernel-5.3.18-3-pve: 5.3.18-3
< pve-kernel-5.3.10-1-pve: 5.3.10-1
---
 > pve-kernel-5.4.34-1-pve: 5.4.34-2

there are some little differences yes but in kernel that are not in use 
any more (in all 3 nodes uname -r shows 5.4.106-1-pve)...

Attached you can find all three files hoping the system doesn't cut them.

Please can I ask you if you have a 6.3 node in your installations that 
was previously in 6.2 version (i.e. not installed directly in 6.3 
version)? Can you tell me if the "Boot order" musk is the one with only 
combo boxes or the more evoluted drag and drop musk?

Thank you very much

Piviul

Hi Piviul,

I don't think only a difference in kernel could explain this difference 
in the web interface, if the other packages are the same. Did you try to 
clear the cache in your web browsers ?

The attached files are indeed there. I looked at the versions, and all 
three appears up to date, so for me, the only origin that I can suppose 
could be the browser cache.

But I'm sure it's not a cache browser because I have clear the cache and 
I have tested this problem in different browsers in different PCs... in 
my opinion there is a bug: during the node upgrade to 6.3, proxmox VE 
doesn't update the code that generate the Boot order option mask. Please 
can you verify if in your 6.3 proxomox nodes that are updates from 
previously 6.2 you can see the new drag and drop boot order mask?

Thank you very much

Piviul

The problem has been solved reinstalling pve-manager with the command

# apt install --reinstall pve-manager
