virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.x86_64 libvirt-0.6.2-11.fc11.x86_64 qemu-kvm-tools-0.10.4-5.fc11.x86_64.rpm This is a UI pain. Open v-m-m and open a system. Go to details. Select "Memory" Click in the "Maximum Allocation" box type in a larger number Click in the "Change Allocation" box type in the same larger number click outside the change allocation box, hit tab, really anything, watch your choice of 'Change Allocation" fail. Ways to make it work include using the 'up/down' arrows next to the 'Maximum Allocation' clicking apply between the changes, things of that nature. But really tabbing or clicking outside the 'Maximum Allocation' box should allow you to make changes in 'Change Allocation' It's also a bit of a PITA that "Change Allocation" is before "Maximum Allocation" so turning things up requires using 'shift tab' to get back to the first one after you've changed the max. Seems that a max-first interface would be a bit easier to use....
Yeah, this is pretty annoying alright
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Okay, I've tried to improve the situation upstream: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virt-manager--devel/rev/e0181a9941d0 There's basically a role reversal: max mem can't go lower than the current mem value, but current mem can do whatever it wants, and max mem will catch up. Manually entering values should be improved as well. Moving to POST.
