GUI frontend for QEMU
Is there any good supported (by the maintainer) frontend for QEMU?
I use AQEMU but it's not being maintained as far as I can tell as the last update was sometime in 2013. I use VirtualBox also but QEMU actually has some interesting features that make it work better for some things. :) I just get tired of typing in long commands or making little scripts to run things. :doh: |
Virt-manager

Virt-Manager is nice. I'm using it every day.

years ago I wrote this script; I still use it...
Code:
#!/bin/ksh Code:

I'm not a fan of all the dependencies for virt-manager, which has always kept me from installing it. I manage all my VMs with expect scripts for auto-start/stop of VMs, or just shell scripts for manually started VMs.

Well I am trying to install virt-manager on current and so far have not been able to pull it off.
|
Well I got it to work more or less.
It does not like spice for some reason. And USB redirection. |

For what it's worth, here's a link to my notes on Qemu/KVM, libvirt and virt-manager.
http://www.microlinux.fr/microlinux/.../KVM-HOWTO.txt I'm using this stuff every day on Slackware workstations and servers. Works perfectly. |
kikinovak I don't suppose you have your notes in English as I don't speak French?

Well I gave Google Translate a try seems to have worked.

I recently switched from VirtualBox to KVM + libvirt + qemu + virt-manager. It all seems to work really well. Bridging seems to work with my wireless NIC, which was something that never worked in the past for me.
I followed these docs: http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:gen...virt#resources They are a bit outdated, but were a good starting point. Virt-manager makes it very easy to do everything Virtual Box did, and then some. The next link was also helpful in understanding the internals of this software. It explains the non-GUI approach to using qemu. http://karellen.blogspot.com/2013/12...with-qemu.html |
I use both VirtualBox and KVM + QEUM and now have the KVM + libvirt + qeum + virt-manager set up and working at least so far.
I got to redo the whole thing on my current box and see how that goes. Not really looking forward to that. |
