Bug#435039: Mention that qemuctl is not a gui
Package: qemuctl Version: 0.2-2 Followup-For: Bug #435039 Hello, from my POV, the manpage of qemuctl sucks. If I understood correctly, qemuctl is not a GUI itself but only a helper tool for qemu-launcher. But the manpage, and package description, both say that qemuctl IS THE GUI. This is simply missleading (carefully speaking), there is not even one word saying that qemu-launcher is the real GUI which the user looks for.

That is not correct. qemuctl can be integrated in qemu-launcher in easy manner but it can work independen for it. Moreover, it has a little gui that you can use without use qemu-launcher.

When I start a GUI, I expect a GUI to appear and not just quickly terminate without giving me any clue why, or at least having a manpage which does provide something directly useful to change this fact (and no, just refering to some other manpages is not userfriendly).

I ask about how to start qemuctl (not qemu, I don't care about qemu YET) and you tell me about qemu options. How should I know that the stupid thing dies BECAUSE options of some OTHER PROGRAM are missing? It does not tell me that. Nor does the manpage do so. When I start a GUI, I expect a GUI to appear and not just quickly terminate without giving me any clue why or at least having a manpage This is true. When you give it incorrect options to qemuctl is not too friendly... From user experience POV this is a real disaster. which does provide something directly useful to change this fact (and no, just refering to some other manpages is not userfriendly). qemuctl is a frontend for qemu/kvm and it sends its options to qemu/kvm, So it need to refer to qemu/kvm other manpages. Sure, but for essential things? You expect users to have electronics diploma before using electronic devices like keyboard or mouse?
