PVE Interface Patch

[ganehag]

What is this? You might ask. Well this is a small patch that I wrote to change the appearance of the PVE interface.

PVE is an awesome system, built upon an even more impressive Linux distribution. However I though that some design love was required to the interface itself.

Instead of waiting around I quickly figured out how the Perl based interfaced was put together. Then after a few hours of tinkering I had changed the interface quite radically.

I have uploaded a small screenshot so that everyone can see the difference and make up their own mind.

The patch itself consists of two files:
pve-manager.patch & perl5-PVE.patch

Download these and put them into your /tmp directory on the system that you wish to patch. Then you change directory to /usr/share/pve-manager and apply the first patch with patch -p0 < /tmp/pve-manager.patch

You can also put the progressmeter.jpg file into /usr/share/pve-manager/images as this will give you a slightly more fancy progressbar.

The second patch is applied by first going into /usr/share/perl5/PVE and then by running patch -p0 < /tmp/perl5-PVE.patch

As always, if you break your system - do not come crying to me. You should be knowing what you are doing!

Oh yes, I had to put pve-manager.patch into a zipfile, and add .txt to the perl5-PVE.patch file.

I gotta tell you that the interface patch looks amazing. I'll have to see what i can come up with.

Wow, appearance looks very cool, hope dev team will integrate it into officail pve.

Absolutely Awesome...
Very clean - simple to use.

I would suggest however making one addition - and adding a simple "home" button or section to return to the home page / start page

Absolutely awesome however

Looks great, but I received an error. (I had to comment that line in order to see the design)

[3612]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: Undefined subroutine &PVE::Utils::roleinfo called at /usr/share/pve-manager/root/base.epl line 95.

The patch in this thread is for Proxmox v1.3 only. If you did a yum update then the v1.4 will get installed and the new role variable is absent in this patch.

How about someone poting this to PVE 1.4? Or is it running well, when comment out the line mentioned two posts before?

No, it works for few pages, but give an error for the others. I revert to plain PVE.
