Desktop tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt
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 machinesvirt-clone
: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machinesvirt-xml
: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XMLvirt-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 ...
