Weekly status for the week of 4th November to 10th November.
Introduction
The past week was relatively quiet, but LXD still received some quality-of-life improvements. Significant work was also done on the LXD documentation, and the LXD snap package to improve building sub-modules of various dependencies. The LXD UI also introduced an option to configure default storage pool when a new project is being created.
Thanks to all the contributors!
Bugfixes
-
Fixed an issue where the simplestream image creation date was incorrectly parsed in 12-hour format instead of 24-hour format, causing times after 12 PM to be displayed inaccurately.
-
Replaced the hardcoded NVIDIA driver root path with the newly introduced
NVIDIA_DRIVER_ROOTenvironment variable. -
Disallowed the use of
nvidia.*instance configuration options when adding GPU devices via the container device interface (CDI) mode.
LXD UI
The LXD UI now asks for the default storage pool when new project is being created. This resolves an issue where a new project is created without a pool and removes friction to make the project usable immediately after creation.
