.TH qemu-gtk-run 1 "(c) 2009 Gerd Hoffmann" .SH NAME qemu-gtk-run - launch qemu and qemu-gtk, using libvirt config. .SH SYNOPSIS .B qemu-gtk-run vm-name .SH DESCRIPTION .B qemu-gtk-run is a perl script which will start qemu and qemu-gtk for you. It uses libvirt (virsh dumpxml $name) to get the virtual machine configuration. It will not use libvirt to start the virtual machine though. Instead it parses the xml config, assembles a command line and launches qemu directly. .P It will not handle all libvirt config options. It should handle a reasonable subset of the syntax though. Some options are intentionally hard-coded, such as VNC setup and monitor location. .P Network setup is largely hardcoded as well for simplicity. When started as root it will hook the virtual machine into virbr0 using a tap interface. Otherwise slirp (aka -net user) is used. .P You probably want to set the VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI environment variable. Check .B virsh(1) for details. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B -d Enable debug messages. .TP .B -m Enable monitor access (passed to qemu-gtk). .SH SEE ALSO qemu-gtk(1), virsh(1) .SH AUTHOR (c) 2009 Gerd Hoffmann
