Yeah, anything has got to be better than: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reporting_virtualization_bugs#Is_My_Guest_Using_KVM.3F I've pushed this upstream: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virt-manager--devel/rev/875f713f19e9 Details->Overview now lists HV Type, VM Arch, and Emulator path. There is still the issue of the emulator being unable to open /dev/kvm, and continuing on it's merry way. My feeling is that if VM is of type='kvm', libvirt should look for that error message, and bomb out accordingly. Silently falling back to plain emulation is pretty sucky. Cool stuff, this will be fixed for F-12 with the next virt-manager release (In reply to comment #2) > Silently falling back to plain emulation is pretty sucky. Indeed. It's been discussed upstream and think the conclusion is that this behaviour won't be merged from qemu-kvm.git into qemu.git - i.e. expect this falling back to go away eventually This is in rawhide now |
Created attachment 342877 [details] Screenshot Description of problem: Presently, there is no indicator for the guest virt type (xenpv, xenfs, qemu, kvm, etc...) when looking at the virtual machine window for a guest (see screenshot attached). The only method I'm aware of is to run: # virsh dumpxml <guest> | grep qemu <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> Having this information present in the UI would be great. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.7.0-4.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run virt-manager 2. Double click on a guest 3. Select the "Details" tab 4. Select the "Overview" section Actual results: See screenshot Expected results: Perhaps more verbose information about the type of virtualization used for the guest.
