Michael Weiser bfafe1e4b2 virtManager: object: domain: Spawn thread for set time
Sleeping in a loop waiting for the qemu guest agent to come online would
leave an annoying progress dialog while the domain would actually be
fully useable already. Additionally, multiple progress dialogs could
actually accumulate on screen if the user managed to suspend/resume fast
enough or the timeout was just long enough.

Defer regular retries into a separate thread to allow the progress
dialog to disappear immediately after the actual action completed. The
thread is encapsulated in a new class _vmmDomainSetTimeThread which
holds state, decides whether to at all wait for an agent to come online
or even try to set the guest time in the first place. It also holds
state (thread running or not), configuration (timeout and retry
interval) and provides an interface to start and stop the time setting
operation.

A later patch will wire up stopping the operation.

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
  • virt-convert: Convert VMX or OVF configs to libvirt virtual machines

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
