I removed qemu and reinstalled virt-manager using the -x qemu switch. Everything installs and I get kvm-qemu-img instead of qemu. Of course, virt-manager now does not work. It opens but it does not provide any means of adding a new virtual host. This places me back at my point of departure, albeit in a much fouler mood. I am afraid I am not seeing the logic behind this sort of install cockup. If qemu is not supposed to be used at all then why is it even available and why does it install in preference to kvm-qemu-img? If kvm-qemu-img is supposed to be used instead of qemu then why does not virt-manager work with it? If qemu is supposed to be used if one uses virt-manager then why does qemu violate the SELinux profile? If virt-manager is not supposed to be used then why is it available? Am I missing something obvious here. Is there a way to configure virt-manager or kvm-qemu-img so that they work together? Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
