We expose a simple combobox with two entries: BIOS, and UEFI. The UEFI option is only selectable if 1) libvirt supports the necessary domcapabilities bits, 2) it detects that qemu supports the necessary command line options, and 3) libvirt detects a UEFI binary on the host that maps to a known template via qemu.conf If those conditions aren't met, we disable the UEFI option, and show a small warning icon with an explanatory tooltip. The option can only be changed via New VM->Customize Before Install. For existing x86 VMs, it's a readonly label.
Virtual Machine Manager ======================= This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via the libvirt library. The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any virtualization backend libvirt supports. Pre-requisite software ====================== virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3 or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager. Earliest tested versions of major components: python >= 2.6 gtk3 >= 3.6 libvirt-python >= 0.4.0 pygobject3 >= 3.4 libosinfo >= 0.2.10 A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in.
