Windows distros missing from quickemu GUI
Closed this issue · 6 comments
After selection the create new machine option on the GUI, it brings up a list of distros to download and install(as it should).
However, within this list, there are now distros entirely missing from the download list that were once there. Namely, Windows. There may be others, but this was the only one I'm aware of.
**NOTE: The quickget command line still seems to work fine for installing it, so it appears to just be a quickGUI thing it seems.

Can confirm this issue is present in 1.2.8-1 under Arch Linux. (Mac OS X is also missing.)
Can confirm this is still a problem, running Kubuntu 22.04.3 on my main device. Perhaps relatedly, I cannot scroll through the options shown when I go to select my operating system for creating a new machine.
This is a bug in quickget, not in quickgui. It should be moved back to the quickemu repository. Specifically, it's caused by lines 193-196, in which the quickget list_csv function prints out an entry for windows for each value in the language array. Windows language support was removed in commit quickemu-project/quickemu@008478d, which 'fixed' downloading windows ISOs by using a third-party source (which has since been changed). The language array is left blank though, so quickget list_csv does not print out any entries for windows.
My pull request on the quickemu repository (quickemu-project/quickemu#886) re-implements language support for windows. This fixes the issue, as is evidenced by my testing in a Linux Mint VM.
I cannot replicate macOS being missing, though. Quickget's list_csv function does correctly print out macOS releases. @halian, is this still an issue you're experiencing?
This is fixed in Quickemu 4.9.4
@flexiondotorg Thank you for the update!
