It is designed to run +independant from the qemu process, so you can stop and restart the gui +without disturbing your virtual machines. + +qemu-gtk doesn't (yet?) support starting and stopping virtual +machines. It can only connect to a already running qemu process. + + +using qemu-gtk +-------------- + +qemu-gtk connects to the qemu monitor using tcp or unix sockets and to +the built-in vnc server. Thus you must enable the monitor and vnc +when starting qemu. The monitor should be in non-blocking server mode. + +i.e. you'll start qemu like this: + + "qemu -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor,server,nowait -vnc :1 <more-args>" + +then the gui like this: + + "qemu-gtk unix:/tmp/monitor" + +qemu-gtk will figure automatically where the vnc display is, using the +monitor. + + +Have fun, + Gerd + +-- +Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> |
