Description Todd 2018-05-11 01:29:54 UTC
Request for Enhancements:  Virt-manager

In the "boot" settings, please add a field that allow you to change back and forth between regular and EUFI boot.

Also, please add a check box for EUFI USB boot support (such as the Windows 10 USB install flash drives).

Many thanks,
-T

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

UEFI config is under the Overview page, and it's only available at VM install time because for cases like full linux VMs you can really switch back and forth between uefi. If you want to change an existing VM config back and forth you can probably make a working command line invocation with 'virt-xml'
