Bug Description
ImagesView.__init__ contains:
try:
except ConnectionError:
However, get_os_
no other IO. I assume it once did raise ConnectionError, but that is no
longer the case.
HOWEVER.
This has caused a different bug.
When the mechanism that populates image information hits problems, this
is not signalled to the user.
For example, a user's proxy was blocking access to maas.ubuntu.com so no
images were discovered.
The only message they were shown in the UI was:
Error: No boot sources provide Ubuntu images.
This is only a symptom, and as such is misleading.
The only message in the logs was:
maas.
this problem persists, verify network connectivity and disk usage.
Ideally the latter message would have also been shown in the UI. In
addition, it would be useful if the nature of the I/O error were
displayed (e.g. access denied).
