February 17, 20251 yr I recently created a virtual machine, and I cannot start/stop/edit, or anything because when clicking on the ICON I do not get a context menu like I do on the other machines. I wish to remove it and cannot. Is there a way to manually remove this, or to enable the context menu to appear to let me remove it?
February 17, 20251 yr Author Sorry Version 7. Here is a screen shot of the VM in the VM tab. It does have a ' in the name actually. Edited February 17, 20251 yr by TheUnkind1
February 17, 20251 yr For now, you can rename it using the CLI, e.g.: To rename your VM, use the following command from the terminal: virsh domrename 'vmname' 'new vmname' Example: virsh domrename 'Linux "test"' 'Linux test'
February 17, 20251 yr Author This is the result of the output. It seems the ' in the Dingo's is messing up the command. Edited February 17, 20251 yr by TheUnkind1
February 18, 20251 yr Sorry, gave you a bad example since it was for a name with double quotes, try using double quotes for the original name, for the new name you can use single or dual quotes: virsh domrename "Linux's" 'Linux'
