This applies to GNS3 installation on ubuntu, the issue was found on ubuntu 24.04 and GNS3 2.2.49 but is still present in GNS3 2.2.50.

The issue in GNS3 2.2.49 and following has been reported first there : https://gns3.com/community/featured/gns3-2-2-49-on-ubuntu-24-04-does-not-recognize-gns3-2-2-47-projects-working-on-ubuntu-22-04

No-body else than me replied. Thinking GNS3 2.2.50 could may be have corrected it, I upgraded to GNS3 2.2.50 I hit the issue of users rights which I reported in gns3 comunity.

When the GNS3 2.2.50 user right issue got corrected, I upgraded to the new GNS3 2.2.50 the user right issue is corrected. The previous issue with existing IOU projects with previous GNS3 2.2.47 .gns3 project files still exist so I create this issue.

Describe the bug

I can create a new project with my IOU device, I can start it I can console in it. But when I OPEN (not even launch) a previous project with the same IOU device I get the error : the image is missing

To Reproduce

You need to have a previous .gns3 project file with an IOU device used in it, a project file created in GNS3 2.2.47 or before. You need to have created the same device, with the image.

You will see the new projects using the IOU image will work. But at the time of OPENING a previous .gns3 project with an IOU device referenced (created in GNS3 2.2.47 or before)
