VM's logs are not shown/rendered

Post by birdie »

1. Under Fedora 42 I see empty tabs instead of actual logs.

Please fix.

2. For a brand new VM the situation is even funnier.

The log is there, it shows "NoLogFile":

In the 2nd case what happens when you click on Reload. And int he first case can it be that the text is there but color is messed up. Can you maybe try to select the text?

1. The text is indeed there, it's just invisible, i.e. it has the same color as the background.

2. The Reload button "finds" log files, but it's weird you have to click it in the first place.

We don't change the default font color of that widget. It should be something to do with your desktop color theme. WHat is you desktop? What distro are you using?

I'm running Fedora 42, XFCE, my GTK theme (style) is Greybird.

I've got no style defined/specified for Qt applications.

I have this but I'm not sure it has any effect:

Code: Select all

/home/birdie/.config/QtProject.conf
[FileDialog]
history=@Invalid()
qtVersion=6.8.0
shortcuts=file:, file:///home/birdie, file:///tmp, file:///mnt, file:///home/birdie/Desktop
sidebarWidth=92
viewMode=Detail

/home/birdie/.config/Trolltech.conf
[Qt]
GUIEffects=general, fademenu, animatecombo, fadetooltip, animatetoolbox
cursorFlashTime=1000
doubleClickInterval=400
font="Tahoma,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
resolveSymlinks=false
style=QtCurve
