Incorrect message: Boot image import process not started

[Andreas Hasenack]

I just deployed MAAS 1.8.0~rc3+bzr4000-0ubuntu1~trusty1 and went ahead to import the boot images.

I went to the images tab, clicked apply and it started the process. Or maybe not, because the same page that says it is importing images also says this:
"""
    Boot image import process not started. Nodes will not be able to provision without boot images. Visit the boot images page to start the import.
"""

See attached screenshot.

This is very confusing, because I just started the process, and it says it didn't. Did it fail? What is going on?

Hi Andreas,

That just seems to be a message that failed to disappear while the image process is importing. Can you try to reload that page, (or go to a different page and come back to the Images page to see if that message disappears?)

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

I don't have that particular MAAS server up anymore, but I have another one where I get the attached screenshot when I reload the page.

Other comments:
- what is that "import images" button doing there, in this last screenshot?
- what does it mean "Region importing"? I'm at the image import tab, why is it talking about importing regions?
- what's the progress? The spinning wheel doesn't have any percentage when I hover over it, for example

We believe this is no longer an issue in the latest releases of MAAS. Please upgrade to the latest version of MAAS, and If you believe this issue is still present, please re-open this bug report or file a new one.
