@scottalanmiller I have tried to connect via virtualbox before but after the windows and linux setups the screen would just turn black so i resorted to qemu and followed your discussion but now it wont connect on ubuntu

To do that....

Edit...

sudo vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

And set...

user = "root" group = "root"

And then...

sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

@black3dynamite said in Mouse Issues on Windows 2019 on KVM Through Virt-Manager:

EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet is the default when selecting Server 2019 config template.

That's the one.

And the template didn't load properly when we selected it! It kept going back to Alpine!

Mystery solved.

Hey @JaredBusch if you Google about converting Hyper-V to KVM, this is Google's built in process now! They link this article as the "official" Google chosen reference document for this process!

@callimarie said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10:

uhh i keep getting this error "The libvirtd service does not appear to be installed. Install and run the libvirtd service to manage virtualization on this host."

So did you do what it said?

@Francesco-Provino said in virt-manager for Windows:

@scottalanmiller you don’t want a GUI on the virtualization host, ever. Just spin a VM with virt-manager and launch it on your local machine with xming or one of the other solutions in the other comments.

Right, bypassing Windows can be an option, but it's a crappy one. But I got it working directly on Windows, so no need for a heavy VM for one app.

They need to just get off of my lawn.

LOL, funny how I'd never have understood the joke before moving to NA and buying a house 🙂

HAHAHA

@dyasny said in Virt-Manager on multiple pc's:

if you have an ovirt-engine somewhere central, that can reach to all the other locations, you can create a datacentre per location and place standalone hosts in there, using local storage.

Never thought about that. That's a great idea.

@Dashrender think of this as XOCE to XenServer/XCP-ng but with a desktop instead of a web interface.

Literally nothing different and is completely normal.

@black3dynamite forget it...

Thanks to you guys I got it sorted out now!

@matteo-nunziati f**k I will never learn how to write on a damn smartphone

Solved
I posted this on https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2017-August/msg00210.html

Laszlo Ersek posted the solution: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2017-August/msg00244.html
It can be mitigated manually: when the VM boots, interrupt it at the
TianoCore splash screen. In the setup utility, navigate to:

Boot Maintenance Manager
Boot Options
Add Boot Option

In the file chooser, select

<whatever device you have>/EFI/fedora/shim.efi

and enter a description (name) for the boot option.

Then,

Boot Maintenance Manager
Boot Options
Change Boot Order

and move the new boot option to the top of the list.

After you commit the changes, you can forcibly reset the VM, or else
return to the setup TUI front page, and select Reset there.

@romo now there's a workaround if I've ever seen one...

== solved ==

I was looking at 2 different systems, CentOS-7 & Fedora 25.
Bridge networking behavior at the GUI is not the same on both.
F25 required some manual config. to add "br1"

@msff-amman-Itofficer said in KVM Virtual Machine Manager: no keyboard:

@FATeknollogee

I mean password-less SSH login between the Virtt-Manager and the KVM host, but maybe you are using both on the same machine i guess, right ?

If that is the case this disregard passwordless SSH stuff

Yes, for now, same machine

Here is the option:

Thx, I will take a look at "Display Spice".
